About Me |
|
| I used to travel forty miles and make seven dollars to play a night of bluegrass, Del McCoury says. I just always loved playing, always loved the road. He earns a little more and travels a little further nowadays, but the essential truth remains: Del McCoury plays and sings because he loves music.
It seems that lots of people love Del McCourys music, too. At the age of 66, McCoury is at the height of his game, and has become a major bridge in bringing bluegrass to a wider audience. At McCourys shows, college students cheer alongside the fans that have been following McCourys music since his very first album. McCouryalong with his bandhas now won more International Bluegrass Music Association awards than any other artist, been nominated for three Grammys, and has even seen his first video firmly planted on CMTs top ten list. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 2003 and now divides his time between traditional bluegrass festivals and jam gatherings, recently playing with such bands as Phish, Leftover Salmon, and Yonder Mountain String Band. Lately his albums have had a habit of topping the bluegrass charts. This layout is from whateverlife.com! img src="http://mslayouts.whateverlife.com/promotion/banner1k.gi f" |
