John McEuen has assembled a unique cast for a special night to share the music and memories of the landmark 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken' platinum album and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's incredible career. His show brings a narrative, memories and music of early NGDB taking us on an incredible journey - interwoven with Dirt Band Favorites, hot bluegrass, rare early NGDB music
When the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recorded Will The Circle Be Unbroken, initiated by founding member John McEuen, the icons of Bluegrass, Country, and West coast country rock convened: Roy Acuff, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Earl Scruggs, Vassar Clements and Maybelle Carter. Six hot August 1971 days produced the benchmark record relevant to this day (Amazon top-20 still!)
The Circle Band join, host John with his banjo, fiddle and mandolin, as they share hits and stories leading up to this magic time when three generations came together. The Library of Congress inducted the multi-platinum 'Circle' as one of the most important American recordings. 'Circle' is also in the Grammy Hall of Fame. The evenings journey leads to music from McEuen's new highly praised record - Made in Brooklyn - on Chesky Records. Closing with encores of music from the new album, the audience experiences the entire span of John's 50 years in music and are taken back to some of the best years of their lives.
