The
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
AmericaJR.com
has teamed up with The Ark in Ann Arbor to give you the chance
to win a pair of tickets to see The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 8:00 p.m.
The
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band came together as a jug band in 1966,
say the members, because they were trying to figure out a
way not to have to work for a living. Almost 45 years later,
with original members John McEuen, Jeff Hanna, and Jimmie
Fadden still on board, they remain one of the hardest-working
bands in show business.
They
had an evergreen hit with Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles"
in 1970, moved to Nashville, and reunited several generations
of country musicians on the classic three-LP set "Will
the Circle Be Unbroken." They went on to mainstream country
success with a series of albums in the 1970s and 1980s that
were wonderfully songwriter-oriented (request their version
of Steve Goodman's "Don't Get Sand in It" if you
get a chance), and took home a Country Music Association Album
of the Year award for "Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Volume
Two" in 1989.
The
group is best known for their number one single "Fishin'
in the Dark" in 1987.
They've
remained one of country's great attractions in concert ever
since, and they're making a rare Michigan appearance in support
of their new release, "Speed of Life," featuring
11 original songs plus covers of "Going Up the Country"
and "Stuck in the Middle with You."
Tickets
are $35 each and can be ordered online here
or at the box office.
The
Ark is located at 316 S. Main St. in Ann Arbor, MI 48104.
Two
lucky winners will each receive a pair of tickets to the Terri
Clark concert.
