The iconic and profoundly influential
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, often cited as a catalyst for an entire movement in
Country Rock and American Roots Music, continues to add to their legendary
status.
With multi-platinum and gold records, strings of top ten hits such as "Fishin' In The Dark" and "Mr. Bojangles", multiple Grammy, IBMA, CMA Awards and nominations, the band's accolades continue to accumulate.
Their groundbreaking "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" album has been inducted into the U.S. Library of Congress as well as the Grammy Hall of Fame. NGDB’s recording of "Mr. Bojangles" was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2010.
NGDB (Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, John McEuen) are touring in support of their most recent release, the critically acclaimed album "Speed of Life"
(2009, SugarHill Records) with recent tour stops at Bonnaroo and Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble.
