Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been at this for over 55 years — they released “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” in 1972, a three-album set that brought together country rock musicians and old-time legends like Doc Watson, Mother Maybelle Carter, and Earl Scruggs in a collaboration that became one of the most important documents in American roots music. The band has been making records and touring ever since, and the catalogue runs deep.
About the Performance
A Nitty Gritty Dirt Band show is part concert, part history lesson — the songs span the years in ways that illuminate how country, folk, and bluegrass have informed each other. Albany audiences who know the band primarily from “Fishin’ in the Dark” or “American Dream” will find the full live set goes considerably further.
About The Egg
The Egg sits in downtown Albany within the Empire State Plaza, with Plaza parking available. The venue is well-suited to acoustic and country programming — the room is warm and the sightlines keep the stage close.
