Young Original

Young Original is a 5-piece acoustic band with a passion for breathing new life into classic American music. Since forming in 2022, they’ve delighted audiences across the midwest with their riveting live shows, and dynamic performance videos that have racked up millions of views online. The band features a striking combination of incredible instrumental mastery (on the piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, accordion and cello) and equally stunning vocal harmonies.

Each member of Young Original is a stunning performer in their own right: Benjamin Morren is a firebrand pianist and composer who plays too many instruments to count; Lily Morren holds her own with soaring soprano vocals and jazzy percussion chops. Silas Johnson started cello lessons at age 3, and has performed with The Johnson Strings to sold out crowds in Branson and abroad. Joe Xiques is a songwriter and producer who has travelled the world playing bluegrass music on a plethora of instruments. Lead vocalist Carver Bowers dazzles with Sinatra-esque vocals and has entertained audiences all across the USA with his musical family.

The unique fusion of jazz, classical, folk, and pop influences has made this group an absolute must-see for all music lovers. Their dynamic performances and laid-back, genuine connection with audiences is worth experiencing for yourself.
