The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been making music together for six decades, and their All The Good Times Farewell Tour makes a stop at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland, Vermont on April 14, 2026. For fans across Northern New York, Vermont, and the North Country border region, this is the show to make the drive for.
Sixty Years of Dirt
Few bands in American music have a run like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Founded in 1966, they helped bridge the gap between country, folk, and rock at a time when those genres weren’t supposed to mix. Their 1972 album Will the Circle Be Unbroken brought together legends like Earl Scruggs, Maybelle Carter, and Doc Watson in a recording session that became one of the most important documents in American roots music history.
The All The Good Times Farewell Tour is exactly what it sounds like: a final run through the catalog, a chance to hear the songs one more time in a room with people who’ve carried them for years. The Paramount Theatre in Rutland is a historic Vermont venue with the right scale for a night like this — intimate enough to feel like a real farewell, not a stadium goodbye.
Worth the Drive from Northern NY
Rutland sits squarely in the North Country border region that Upstate Concerts covers. For listeners in Plattsburgh, Glens Falls, Saratoga, and the Adirondacks, the Paramount is a reasonable evening’s drive for a band with this catalog and this kind of history. The farewell tour won’t come back around.
