With nothing more than their instruments, four Dhima brothers from Melbourne transformed Lynyrd Skynyrd’s timeless 1973 ballad into an emotional acoustic performance that hit longtime rock fans straight in the heart. Todd Dhima’s soulful lead vocals, combined with the brothers’ tight harmonies and tasteful musicianship, gave the nostalgic classic a raw warmth that viewers simply couldn’t ignore.

The four teen talented brothers of Mixed Up Everything had old rockers “choked to tears” when they shared this soulful acoustic cut of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man.” The boys have fresh faces and flowing locks aplenty, but they deliver the old-time soul here that made the nostalgic ballad really hit in the chest. With the chemistry that these Aussie brothers have, it’s no surprise that 8 million viewers tuned into the talented young band’s performance.

Set to a breezy backing of a beachfront, the four Dhima brothers showed a mastery of dynamics with a tasteful intro before Todd Dhima kicked off the lead vocals. Todd has a great voice for this material and adds plenty of feeling to his take on the 1973 classic. The Music Man has to say that in addition to their killer instrumental chops, the brothers really know how to put on a performance.

The Dhima brothers uploaded their cover of “Simple Man” to their YouTube channel, MixedUpEverything, where it became their third-most popular upload. The cover was a hit with rock fans, who added comments such as “67 here and choked to tears. Missing my sweetheart and simpler days gone by, and in awe of these boys paying tribute to a classic of the era. Thank you our sons. God bless.” and “Kids like this restore my faith that good music hasn’t died. Carry on little brothers.”

The Dhima brothers have recorded several popular videos right on that same beachfront. Another great capture from the same spot was their viral cover of Alice in Chains’ “Would?” This more intense number shows that the brothers can really tackle a range of styles. Todd again shines on lead vocals, while bassist Koby adds some gorgeous harmonies – what talent these boys have.

Mixed Up Everything are a four-piece rock band from Melbourne, Australia. The lineup features the Dhima brothers Todd (lead vocals, guitar), Blake (guitar), Kevin (drums), and Koby (bass). The Music Man readers might be interested to hear that the Dhima brothers have been playing together since 2006, initially just performing mock concerts for their parents at home.

Mixed Up Everything began busking in Melbourne in 2014. The band, then aged 15, 13, 12, and 10, proved to be quite popular with commuters. The band began going viral on YouTube in 2015, with their breakthrough video featuring a busking performance of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Californication.” The band have since scored a host of million-view-plus videos and also released three studio albums as an independent band.
