Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

When the “scruffy, young jug-band” band from Southern California released Will the Circle Be Unbroken in 1972, they solidified their mark in music history recording with
some of their heroes, legends that included Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson and Mother Maybelle Carter. The album not only tied together two generations of musicians at a time when the country was tearing itself apart, it also became a part of the American musical landscape. Ultimately Will the Circle Be Unbroken was named one of the 50 Greatest Albums of All-Time and is one of only 50 recordings to be honored and preserved by the Library of Congress. The group repeated the successful collaborations with Will the Circle Be Unbroken II in 1989 and Will the Circle Be Unbroken III in 2002. Now, more than 35 years later, the original core group Nitty Gritty Dirt Band brings their music to a new generation with a concert experience featuring the trilogy albums and their greatest hits including their top 10 anthem Mr. Bojangles, No. 1 smash Fishin’ in the Dark, An American Dream, Cadillac Ranch and many others.
