Eventually, they settled on “Fox on the Run,” a more traditional, if less-rehearsed, song with smooth, layered harmonies, said banjo player Cody Harvey, 16.

Their rendition was a hit with the judges, who passed them on to the finals, where their cover of “Cumberland River,” another standard, landed them $425 and second place in the bluegrass band category. (Read more)
