The Del McCoury Band consists of Del McCoury (legendary singer) along with his two sons Ronnie McCoury (mandolin) and Rob McCoury (banjo) who front The Travelin's younger brothers band The Travelin' McCourys. As the legendary singer of Bluegrass music for six decades, Del has garnered 12 Grammy nominations along with multiple IBMA Award wins including that of Entertainer of the Year. Fans from around the globe sing along to songs such as "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," "Nashville Cats," "Beautiful Life" off of his most recent release "Almost Proud" that exemplifies Del's signature high lonesome sound. Having received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, Del is recognized as a living treasure of American culture, and there's nothing quite like hearing him and his band play some of these classics live.
The Travelin' McCourys are Del McCoury's three sons and they play bluegrass in a more modern fashion than their father but equally as talented. They are known to perform as an acoustic bluegrass group as well as an electric group that can jam with other musicians. Ronnie and Rob McCoury make up the core of the band with Ronnie playing mandolin and Rob playing banjo. The two sons have been able to play with and open for many musicians including Keller Williams, The String Cheese Incident, and Jeff Austin. Their sets are usually full of high energy and many of their songs are instrumental which showcase their skills as musicians. Because the Travelin' McCourys are known to be very spontaneous during their performances, no two shows are ever going to be the same.
