In the early 1990's, on warm summer evenings, Mike Carr (Lardo) would practice his banjo in front of Lexington Fire Station #5. A friend started stopping by with his guitar, then another, and another. It wasn't long till a neighbor came by with a bass fiddle and the next thing they knew they were jamming everyday in between duties. The jam session grew until the pickers and audience sometimes were more than the firehouse room would hold. One evening in about 1995, a shy guitar picker, Mike Hammond (Burley) and his brother came from Nicholasville, Kentucky for one of the jam sessions. As the crowd started to think down he finally got out his guitar and immediately everyone realized this guy had something. A special friendship soon developed and they became closer than friends; they're brothers, the Moron Brothers that is.They both feel fortunate to have come from strong, hard working, religious families from the heart of the bluegrass. Both wives travel with them and without that support, Lardo and Burley couldn't do it; wouldn't do it. They both love to write songs, play music and most of all get a reaction from the crowd. Carr stated, "We feel that there is enough sickness and grief in the world today and the good Lord means for people to have good, clean fun and laughter. Maybe that is why he gave us the talent to play and write these funny songs. If that's our purpose in life (and we hope it is), then we are going to do it as long as we can.Consider The Moron Brothers for your next event. Whether it be a festival, alumni banquet, or fundraiser, your audience will be sure to have a great time and they will have you to thank.
