Performer Schedule: Sunday Concert
Del McCoury is a very grateful man, and nowhere is that gratitude more evident than in The Promised Land, the first gospel album in a career now spanning five decades. Del McCoury plays and sings because he loves making music for a living and appreciates the people who have made that possible. The Del McCoury Band may well boast the broadest, most inclusive fan base this side of the Grateful Dead. They are undeniably one of the most talented, revered and vital groups in bluegrass history.
The band’s leader/patriarch/namesake is one Delano Floyd “Del” McCoury, a nimble, inventive guitarist and a master of the ‘high lonesome’ vocal style that is the foundation of the bluegrass sound. McCoury, along with his band, has now won more International Bluegrass Music Association awards than any other artist in the genre’s history with a total of nearly 40 individual and group citations from the IBMA—including a whopping nine “Entertainer Of The Year” honors and has been nominated for six Grammys with one win. |
