About Leverett Brothers
The Leverett Brothers were Wilbur (1916-2010) and Homer (1919-1982). They were from Galena, MO and began playing professionally as a vaudeville-style duo ("The Original Ozarks Hillbillies") while still in their teens. Their first appearance was at the Gillioz Theater in Springfield, MO in the early 1930s. Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton first met the boys in 1931, and used them as models for his 1931 Missouri Musicians painting.
In the 1940s, the brothers shifted their act to a more evangelical approach, appearing at numerous churches and tent revivals, but continued to include a mix of country/bluegrass music, novelty music (played on cheeks and head, broom, etc.), and magic tricks.
