October 6th at Oxford Performing Arts
Center – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Celebrating their Golden (50th) Anniversary
together, the iconic and profoundly influential Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, often cited as a
catalyst for an entire movement in Country
Rock and American Roots Music, continues
to add to their legendary status.
With multi-platinum and gold records,
strings of top ten hits such as "Fishin' In The
Dark" and "Mr. Bojangles", multiple Grammy,
IBMA, CMA Awards and nominations, the
band's accolades continue to accumulate.
Their groundbreaking "Will The Circle Be
Unbroken" album has been inducted into
the U.S. Library of Congress as well as the
Grammy Hall of Fame. NGDB’s recording of
"Mr. Bojangles" was also inducted into the
Grammy Hall of Fame in 2010. In 2014 "Fishin' In the Dark" was certified platinum for
digital downloads by the RIAA.
Today, NGDB (Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden,
Bob Carpenter, John McEuen) continue their
non-stop touring in their 50th year together.
