The Travelin’ McCourys

The McCoury brothers- Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo) - were born into the bluegrass tradition. Years on the road with Dad in the Del McCoury Band honed their knife-edge chops, and encouraged the duo to imagine how traditional bluegrass could cut innovative pathways into 21st century music. 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, what traditions they’ve learned, and push the music forward. The Travelin’ McCourys have developed an eclectic repertoire, showcased on the quintet’s self-titled debut album that is overflowing with inventive style, stellar musicianship, and, of course, plenty of burnin’ grass.
