I heard a band on 89.9 WEVL and looked them up. They are The Abrams Brothers, and the band members are three Canadian boys aged 18, 18, and 16. I was impressed that they are so young, their music is impressive, and it's not Britney Spears pop garbage. Far from it, in fact.
From their bio on the website: In 2008 The Abrams Brothers recorded, Blue on Brown, a tribute to folk legends Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie. The album of bluegrass and gospel covers features an all-star cast of Canadian artists such as Bruce Cockburn and Amy Milan (Broken Social Scene) and demonstrates the groups deft musicianship as they keep up with Dylan and Guthrie’s fast rhythms and intricate guitar finger-work. They even got the nod of approval from Arlo Guthrie himself when the man heard them playing his songs and said, “these guys are way too young to be that good.”
One of the boys is named Elijah. Like my boy, which further endears me.
Up yours, Jonas Brothers.
