The Travelin' McCourys
The Travelin’ McCourys, an all star off shoot of the legendary Del McCoury Band, will be playing a show at the Station Inn in Nashville, Tenn. on August 26. The show begins at 9:00 pm (doors at 7:00pm) and cover is $12.00.
The Travelin’ McCourys consists of the band members of the most awarded group in the history of bluegrass -The Del McCoury Band, uniquely paired with elements of other touring bands in configurations purposely reminiscent of the Traveling Wilburys. The Travelin’ McCourys is comprised of Ronnie McCoury on mandolin, Rob McCoury on banjo, Jason Carter on fiddle, and Alan Bartram on bass, plus Cody Kilby sitting in on guitar, and there are sure to be a special guest or two.
This touring unit blends the best of the Appalachian tradition with the improvisational magic of jazz, folk, and blues. Unique live collaborations are the hallmark of their performances, and demonstrate why critics and musicians alike hail the McCourys as the best bluegrass band in the world.
Whenever you put the McCourys and the Station Inn together, you never know what is going to happen, or who might join in on the fun, creating what locals fondly call “Nashville only moments.”
