Will the Circle be Unbroken

McEuen – (a co-founder of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) with his banjo, guitar, fiddle, and mandolin – brings his unique cast of Americana string wizards to share the music and memories of the landmark  Will the Circle Be Unbroken* platinum album (initiated by John) and his incredible 50-year career with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.  With narrative and music of early NGDB multi-instrumentalist Johntakes us on their extraordinary journey – John and Band interweave with Nitty Gritty favorites hot bluegrass, rarely heard NGDB early classics, Carter Family music, all in a multi-media presentation that features archival footage – and some new classics from his recent album on Compass Records,  The Newsman.
