The Travelin’ McCourys

The McCoury brothers, Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo), were born into the bluegrass tradition. Their father, Del, is among the most influential and successful musicians in the history of the genre. With fiddler Jason Carter, bassist Alan Bartram, and latest recruit Cody Kilby on guitar, they assembled a group that could take what they had in their DNA, take what traditions they learned and heard, and push the music forward.

The band became the only group to have each of its members recognized with an International Bluegrass Music Association Award for their instrument at least once. There were peers, too, that could see bluegrass as both historic and progressive. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Allman Brothers Band, improv-rock kings Phish, and contemporary jam band Keller Williams were just a few that formed a mutual admiration society with the ensemble. The band played the Allman’s Wanee Festival and guitarist Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam—an annual holiday homecoming of Southern music.
