The first time the band has performed together since the movie, the band The Soggy Bottom Boys is a compilation of talents artists who collectively have won over 47 Grammy awards. The band members are as follows:

• Dan Tyminski- vocals

• Barry Bales- bass

• Ron Block- banjo

• Stuart Duncan- fiddle

• Mike Compton- mandolin

Outside of the band, members Tyminski and Bales are well known for their musical roles in country music legend Alison Krauss and Union Station’s music. Band fiddler, Duncan, is also part of the Nashville Bluegrass Band.

Man of Constant Sorrow

The band’s most popular hit, “Man of Constant Sorrow,” was originally recorded in 1928 by Emry Arthur. However, the song was brought to life when O Brother actors George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson covered the song in the film. As a result of the Hollywood hit, the song went on to win “Single of the Year” from the Country Music Association, as well as a Grammy for “Best Country Collaboration with Vocals.” The song peaked at number 35 on Billboard’s chart. Relive the film’s success with the song for yourself by watching the band play it in the video below:
