Phoebe Bridgers surprised The Tonight Show audience Tuesday (7/14) with the TV debut of her latest single, “Lost Boys.”
If that wasn't enough, to mimic the Peter Pan reference of the title, she surrounded herself with a nine-piece band of children ranging in age from eight to 14 years old.
But those just weren't any kids, many of them are extremely popular on social media.
The single dropped last month, was co-written by several people including Bridgers and Bo Burnham, and was co-produced by a few including Bridgers and Jack Antonoff.
The musicians on the tune, whose music video has already hit over 1.5 million views in less than a month includes Nate Walcott of Bright Eyes on horns, Alex G on drums and voice memo, Antonoff on a bunch of things, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Caroline Shaw on background vocals, among other players.
But on the NBC talk show, Bridgers, who next month will be releasing her first solo album in six years, Lost Weekend, were flanked by juvenile hot shots.
Stealing the show was Bay Melnick Virgolino (guitar), Ellen Alaverdyan (bass), Ryder B. (drums), Jelijah Diaz (keyboards), Journeyy Belton (background vocals), King Washington (horns), Sagan Hanna (horns), and Saxon Weiss (guitar).
Get to know them as they're the future.
Ryder B, drums
Ryder is ten and has 270k Instagram followers who recently saw him sing a Guns n' Roses tune, play guitar and sing Hole's "Violet," and his YouTube followers watched him play guitar with Green Jelly at Insane Clown Posse's Juggalo Weekend.
Jelijah Diaz, piano
Jelijah is eight and has 1.46 million subscribers to his YouTube channel. Recently they've seen him play piano and harmonica and singing "Piano Man." His video of playing 10 Kpop Demon Hunter tunes racked up 4.7 million views.
Saxon Weiss, guitar
Saxon is a 14 year-old guitar virtuoso with 27k Instagram followers. Word started to spread about his talent after he appeared on the YouTube channel of Normans Rare Guitars. On that channel he's played with Joe Bonamassa and recently he got to rock out with Eric Johnson.
Ellen Alaverdyan, bass
Ellen is 13 years old and has 712k YouTube followers who earlier this year saw her do the bass part of Weather Report's "Teen Town." She did it on a fretless bass ala Jaco Pastorius and it's so good it's been seen over 1 million times.
Bay Melnick Virgolino, guitar
Bay is 11 and has 200k IG followers. Last year he wowed Simon Cowell on America's Got Talent and had his guitar teacher, Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro, beam with pride. "So proud of [Bay Melnick Virgolino] for that amazing performance at America’s Got Talent!" he wrote on social media. "Loving being part of his journey as his coach and mentor."
Journeyy Belton
Journeyy has 518k IG followers who watch him sing beautifully, as well as play the guitar and piano. His behind the scene Instagram videos on performing with Phoebe are delightful.
Phoebe has been doing fun pop up shows to promote the record including a gig at Madison Square Garden for just $1.
In September she heads out for the actual tour that wraps up its North American leg on November 1. Then a little while off before jetting to Europe for that leg.
