About this Event
The McCoury brothers—Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo)—were born into the bluegrass tradition. Talk about a source abundant and pure: their father, Del, is among the mostinfluential and successful musicians in the history of thegenre. Years on the road with Dad inthe Del McCoury Band honed their knife-edge chops and encouraged the duo to imagine howtraditional bluegrass could cut innovative pathways into 21st century music.
“If you put your mind, your skills, and your ability to it, I think you can make just aboutanything work on bluegrass instruments,” says Ronnie. “That’s a really fun part of this—figuringthe new stuff out and surprising the audience.
”The newest member of the band, fiddler Christian Ward, joined after Jason Carter moved on to pursue a solo career.Bassist Alan Bartram, and Cody Kilby on guitar, they assembled a group that could take what they had in their DNA, the traditions they learned and heard, and push the music forward. In fact, the band became the only group to have each of its members recognized with an International Bluegrass Music Association Award for their instrument at least once. There were peers, too, that could see bluegrass as both historic and progressive. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Allman Brothers Band, improv-rock kings Phish, and jamband contemporary Keller Williams were just a few that formed a mutual admiration society with the ensemble.
