The Del McCoury Band Live Groton Hill Music Center

The renowned bluegrass act The Del McCoury Band will be live at the Groton Hill Music Center Friday March 22 at 8:00pm.

For more than 50 years, Del McCoury’s music has defined authenticity for hard-core bluegrass devotees as well as a growing number of fans only vaguely familiar with the genre. Del is something special, a living link to the days when bluegrass was made only in hillbilly honkytonks, at schoolhouse shows and on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, yet also a commandingly vital presence today, from primetime and late night TV to major music festivals.

In 1992, Del formed the current version of his band and called it The Del McCoury Band. Sons Ronnie and Rob have both been in the band for more than 25 years, and it is one of the most consistent lineups of any Bluegrass band in history with just one member change in 25 years. Beginning in the mid-90’s the band won the IBMA’s Entertainer of the Year Award an unprecedented nine times in 11 years, and continues to be the most awarded artist in the history of Bluegrass music.
