SUMMARY:Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
DESCRIPTION:Many veteran bands trade on nostalgia\, on replication of past 
 glories\, and on recycled emotions from younger\, more carefree days. The 
 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band trades on a mix of reimagined classics and compelli
 ng newer works. The group formed in 1966 as a Long Beach\, California jug 
 band\, scored its first charting single in 1967\, and embarked on a self-p
 ropelled ride through folk\, country\, rock ‘n’ roll\, pop\, blue-gras
 s\, and the amalgam now known as “Americana.”\n\nThe first major hit c
 ame in 1971 with the epic “Mr. Bojangles\,” which\, along with insiste
 nt support from banjo master Earl Scruggs\, opened doors in Nashville. Beh
 ind those doors were Earl Scruggs\, Roy Acuff\, Doc Watson\, Mother Maybel
 le Carter\, Jimmy Martin\, and others who would collaborate on a multi-art
 ist\, multi-generational\, three-disc 1972 masterpiece: Will the Circle Be
  Unbroken went triple Platinum\, spawned two later volumes\, and wound up 
 in the Grammy Hall of Fame.\n\nWas this a cutting-edge combo or a group of
  revivalists? Was the goal rebellion or musical piety? Yes\, to all these 
 things. In the 1980s\, the Dirt Band reeled off15 straight Top 10 country 
 hits\, including chart-toppers “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dre
 am)\,” “Modern Day Romance\,” and “Fishin’ in the Dark (co-writt
 en by Jim Photoglo\, who would join the band in the second decade of the n
 ew century). 1989 brought a second Circle album\, this one featuring singe
 r-songwriter talents including John Prine\, Rosanne Cash\, and John Hiatt 
 and garnering two Grammy awards for the band (it later won another\, for a
  collaboration with Earl Scruggs and other fine folks).\n\nCircle II also 
 won the Country Music Association’s Album of the Year prize. Circle III 
 was released in 2003\, featuring collaborations with Johnny Cash\, Dwight 
 Yoakam\, Emmylou Harris\, Taj Mahal\, and more. Throughout the group’s l
 ifetime\, personnel has changed\, with each change resulting in positive s
 teps forward\, new ways of playing the old songs\, and renewed enthusiasm 
 for writing and recording fresh material. The latest Dirt Band lineup is e
 xpanded to six members for the first time since 1968.\n\nToday’s group c
 onsists of founding member Jeff Hanna\, harp master Jimmie Fadden (who joi
 ned in 1966)\, and soulful-voiced Bob Carpenter\, who has more than 40 yea
 rs of service in the ensemble. Those veterans are now joined by singer-son
 gwriter-bass man Jim Photoglo\, fiddle and mandolin wizard Ross Holmes\, a
 nd Hanna’s son\, the preternaturally talented singer and guitarist Jaime
  Hanna. Blood harmony\, thrilling instrumental flights\, undeniable stage 
 chemistry … these things are part of each Dirt Band show\, just as they 
 are part of Dirt Does Dylan\, the first recording from the reconfigured\, 
 six-strong group. Produced by Ray Kennedy and Jeff Hanna\, it’s a remark
 -able ride through some of the most impactful songs of the past century\, 
 penned by Bob Dylan and taken for a blue highway spin by a great American 
 band\, with help from genius-level con-temporary artists like Jason Isbell
  and The War and Treaty. A Dirt Band show is unlike any other. For legions
  of fans\, it’s less about the memories than the moment\, crisp as an Au
 tumn apple and rich as a royal flush.\n\nOpening Act will be Britt Taylor
