Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour

Posted in: Concerts

For nearly six decades, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has entertained audiences with their top-shelf musicianship and timeless hits “Mr. Bojangles,” “Fishin’ in the Dark,” “An American Dream,” and many more. And now, the time has come for the band to say so long to the highways and byways they’ve crossed an unimaginable number of times, carrying the torch of American country and roots music. ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour isn’t goodbye forever, but it will be the last of their multi-city runs and long bus rides. Many veteran bands trade on nostalgia, on replication of past glories, and on recycled emotions from younger, more carefree days. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band trades on a mix of reimagined classics and compelling newer works. The group formed in 1966 as a Long Beach, California jug band, scored its first charting single in 1967, and embarked on a self-propelled ride through folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll, pop, bluegrass, and the amalgam now known as “Americana”. Starts at 6 PM at The Dow Event Center, 303 Johnson, Saginaw.
