Video of The Famous Brothers
Here you'll find certifiable evidence of the fact that The Famous Brothers were at some time alive and moving. And possibly doing comedy and music (depending upon your definition of comedy and music).
As part of the Paper Machete
The Paper Machete is always a terrific comedy/variety magazine show that takes place at the historic Green Mill in Chicago. This video was taken by artist and friend of the band Lauralynn White who is married to Will Clinger, who is also a friend of the band, though we're pretty sure he owes us money.
Live at the Mayne Stage!
The Famous Brothers did a show at The Mayne Stage in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Below are videos from a wonderfully fun evening for all involved, or at least three inbred troubadours from the hills they call home.

Other Video Stuff
Yes, we have been known to set foot in front of a camera from time to time. This always seems a little dangerous to us, but perhaps that comes from our experience growing up in a gun-crazy part of West Virginia where anything pointed your way might be a ticket to a dirt nap.

Inbred Mountain HolidayWhen you're from Monkey's Crevice, West Virginia (sister city to Gibbon's Crease) holidays take on a whole different character. This is because you know your friends and family reeeeeeal well, for one very important reason. (Video from the 4th Annual Ron and Naomi Christmas Show at Fitzgeralds Nightclub, shot by Amazing Grace.)

ScarecrowFilmmaker Michael Azzariti of Black Bag Films must have lost a bar bet or something, because we'll be damned if he didn't agree to shoot a video for us. We thought it turned out real nice, given the level of musicianship on display. See if you can't determine when we decided to practice our ventriloquism act -- there are places when you can see our mouths move in uncanny relation to the actual words we're singing.

Swiss Army KnifeYou know it's true. If you're the subject of a bluegrass song, chances are you won't be blowing out the candles on your next birthday cake. This song is a crowd favorite, in spite of it's bloody-minded theme.

Yodel In The ValleyIt's a simple song, really. A lovely, happy tune about the importance of communication between a man and a woman. Follow these instructions for endless, vigorous days of romantic bliss.
