Nothing you've ever heard. A little country, classical, jazz and even some rock. The boys got something for everyone. Check out this little rendition of the boys singing Beethoven's 5th on NBC's America's Got Talent. This show aired on June 25th. It's the same number they sing at the end of their touring show, 3 Redneck Tenors - A New Musical Adventure (see the live version below).
Billy Bob, Billy Joe, and Billy Billee come together to mix NASCAR with Beethoven, lite beer with Puccini and even kick up a little dust with Ave Maria Dixie! You'll travel with our 3 redneck cousins from their modest beginnings in Paris, Texas, where they discover that belting out a high C causes pigs to move faster and bar brawlers to scatter; all the way to their triumphant debut at New York's famous Carnegie Hall.
In the melodic wake of the three operatic tenors comes a new breed of tenors from more humble origins...3 Redneck Tenors - A New Musical Adventure. The musical comedy featuring classically trained veteran artists from Broadway and world opera stages is like Greater Tuna meets Das Barbecu - down home laughs with big city music! Written by opera-veteran Matthew Lord with music arranged by Craig Bohmler, 3 Redneck Tenors features a cast of veteran opera and Broadway stars including John Wilkerson, Alex Bumpas, Matthew Lord and Dinny McGuire.
Our story starts in a far away land called Paris, that's right Paris, Texas. Not so very long ago there was these three young, slim, good lookin' fine song bird-like singin' boys named Billy Bob, Billy Joe and Billy Billee. Okay, maybe not so young, slim and good lookin' but, whoa doggy, can they sing!
One day while sing'n in front of their mobile music studio (that's showbiz talk for trailer). They were discovered by a shrewd city slicker agent by the name of, well let's just call him...the Colonel. To make a long story short, this is a tale about the Colonel's search for the perfect venue (that's French for place) and style for our boys to shine like the afternoon sun on a bald man's head (no offense to you folically challenged out there). Well, that's the long and short of it. It's basically a foot stompin', knee slapin' uproariously funny musical redneck romp.
So ya'll come join us and I'll betcha a six pack of longnecks and a can of Copenhagen snuff that you've never seen or heard anything like it.
