SUMMARY:TRAVELIN' McCOURYS- STOUGHTON OPERA HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:The Travelin’ McCourys didn’t begin as an idea. They began as momentum.For Ronnie McCoury (mandolin) and Rob McCoury (banjo)\, bluegrass was never abstract. It was lived. They grew up on the road\, on stage and inside the Del McCoury Band\, learning the music the only way it truly gets learned – by playing it in front of real audiences\, night after night\, with no safety net.They learned discipline first.Then responsibility.Then restraint.For years\, their role was clear: help carry one of the most respected bands in American music forward. Alongside Jason Carter\, Mike Bub and later\, Alan Bartram\, they helped define what the modern Del McCoury Band sounded like. It’s precise\, powerful\, deeply rooted and audience-first.But history doesn’t stand still. And neither did they.By the late 1990s and early 2000s\, bluegrass itself was moving into new rooms. Jam audiences were discovering acoustic music through curiosity rather than tradition. Festivals were changing. Set lengths were expanding. And improvisation was no longer a novelty\, it rather became an expectation.Ronnie and Rob didn’t stumble into their shift. They watched it happen up close.They saw what occurred when bluegrass met listeners who valued exploration. They saw how extended solos\, unexpected covers and risk-taking created a different kind of electricity. And they began asking a quiet\, necessary question: Where does this music go when the rules loosen?The answer didn’t belong within the Del McCoury Band format. So they didn’t force it there.Instead\, it emerged naturally; after hours\, late at night and eventually on its own terms.What began informally at festivals slowly took shape into something far more defined. Joined by Alan Bartram (bass) and Cody Kilby (guitar)\, Ronnie and Rob began playing music that stretched further than tradition usually allowed. Songs opened up. Setlists became flexible. Improvisation stopped being occasional and became structural.And it wasn’t about rebellion. It was about following the music where it wanted to go.When DelFest launched\, it became the ideal proving ground. The festival’s design of equal parts reverence and forward motion created a space where experimentation felt earned\, not indulgent. Late-night sets turned into focal points. Word spread. Audiences leaned in.What had started quietly now had gravity.The Travelin’ McCourys began to solidify as a band built for that moment – rooted in bluegrass tradition\, but fluent in the language of improvisation. The connections that had surrounded the McCoury family for years deepened into real collaborations.From onstage sit-ins and shared history with Phish to an ongoing relationship with Jamgrass pioneers\, String Cheese Incident\, performances with the likes of Warren Haynes\, Lukas Nelson\, Sierra Ferrell as well as traditionalists like Marty Stuart\, David Grisman and more\, plus a fully realized Grateful Ball performance\, reimagining the Grateful Dead catalog through bluegrass.The Grateful Ball wasn’t a side idea either\, it clarified the band’s identity. These weren’t tributes or novelty sets\, but rather translations taking deeply familiar material and reshaping it with precision\, improv and deep trust.At the core of the band is musicianship at the highest level. Every founding member of the Travelin’ McCourys has earned at least one International Bluegrass Music Association Award for his instrument. This project is built on concept and ability.When Christian Ward joined on fiddle\, the band’s range expanded again. His modern\, dynamic approach added lift\, urgency and a sharper edge\, pushing the sound further into its own territory.The band’s self-titled debut album captured what audiences already understood: this wasn’t a side chapter or a satellite project. It was a fully formed band with a clear voice that draws from Bill Monroe and Del McCoury\, and also from rock dynamics\, jazz instincts and the freedom of improvisational music.“A good song is a good song\,” Ronnie says. “We just like finding new ways to play them.”That philosophy defines the Travelin’ McCourys on stage. Tight harmonies. Fearless solos. Setlists that breathe. A sense that each night is singular and unrepeatable.Placed alongside the Del McCoury Band\, the relationship becomes clear. It’s not a succession\, not a shadow\, but an expansion. One band built the architecture. The other explores its outer edges. \n

SUMMARY:CARTER & CLEVELAND- STOUGHTON OPERA HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:Between them\, fiddlers Jason Carter and Michael Cleveland have earned an astounding 18 IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year awards—more than half of all given in the award’s history—along with 17 GRAMMY® nominations and four wins. Now\, these two bluegrass powerhouses join forces on their first-ever duo project\, Carter & Cleveland\, a collaboration more than 30 years in the making. Longtime friends and musical kindred spirits since their teenage years\, Carter and Cleveland bring their effortless chemistry and twin-fiddle brilliance to an album rich in tradition\, virtuosity\, and heart. \nFor over three decades\, Jason Carter has been a cornerstone of bluegrass\, serving as fiddler for the legendary Del McCoury Band and co-founder of The Travelin’ McCourys. A three-time GRAMMY® Award winner and six-time IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year\, Carter has recorded with artists including Steve Earle\, Ricky Skaggs\, Dierks Bentley\, and Billy Strings\, and was honored in 2015 on Kentucky’s Country Music Highway alongside Loretta Lynn and Chris Stapleton. Michael Cleveland\, widely regarded as the defining bluegrass fiddler of his generation\, leads his award-winning band Flamekeeper\, has been named IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year twelve times\, and was inducted into the National Fiddlers Hall of Fame in 2018. A GRAMMY® winner for his album Tall Fiddler and recipient of the NEA National Heritage Fellowship\, Cleveland has toured with Béla Fleck and Tommy Emmanuel\, and his masterful fiddle playing can even be heard in the newest season of King of the Hill. \nSince its release\, Carter & Cleveland has earned Album of the Year at the 2025 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards\, while its standout track “Outrun the Rain” (featuring Vince Gill and Jaelee Roberts) won Song of the Year. The project is also nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Bluegrass Album\, cementing its place among the genre’s most celebrated recordings. With guest appearances from Sam Bush\, Del McCoury\, Ronnie McCoury\, Darrell Scott\, and more\, Carter & Cleveland showcases two of bluegrass music’s most decorated and dynamic fiddlers—playing not just in unison\, but in complete musical harmony. \n

SUMMARY:STEEP CANYON RANGERS- STOUGHTON OPERA HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:Steep Canyon Rangers arrive at a moment of renewal and reaffirmation with Next Act\, their 15th studio album set to be released May 22\, 2026. The record represents a conscious tightening of focus: a return to the bluegrass foundations that first bound the band together\, approached with the confidence and emotional range earned through years of collective evolution. It is an affirmation that bluegrass still contains endless expressive possibility. Next Act finds the Rangers sounding deeply at home in their own musical language\, drawing strength from tradition while continuing to write new chapters within it. \nFormed in North Carolina and shaped equally by the Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont\, Steep Canyon Rangers have long occupied a singular space in American roots music. From their earliest recordings\, the band demonstrated an unusual ability to honor traditional bluegrass forms while allowing contemporary songwriting\, literary influence\, and regional storytelling to seep naturally into the music. Over time\, this balance earned them both bluegrass credibility and broader Americana acclaim\, culminating in a Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY Award for 2013’s Nobody Knows You\, additional nominations for Rare Bird Alert (2012) and North Carolina Songbook (2020)\, and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. \nIn recent years\, as their audience expanded and their songwriting reach grew wider\, the Rangers began to feel a pull back toward the elemental forces that shaped them: acoustic instruments speaking clearly\, songs built for ensemble interplay\, and stories grounded in lived experience and regional memory. Next Act emerges from that impulse. \nSteep Canyon Rangers is made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals\, Mike Guggino on mandolin/mandola and vocals\, Aaron Burdett on guitar and vocals\, Nicky Sanders on fiddle and vocals\, Mike Ashworth on drums\, dobro\, percussion and vocals\, and Barrett Smith on bass\, guitar\, and vocals. \n

SUMMARY:CHE APALACHE- STOUGHTON OPERA HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:Che Apalache is a four-man string band formed in Buenos Aires in 2013 with members from Argentina\, Mexico and the United States. The group’s founder is Joe Troop\, a North Carolinian multi-instrumentalist\, singer-songwriter and composer who moved to Argentina in 2010. While patiently carving out a niche in the local music scene\, Joe taught bluegrass and old-time for a living.\nCorralling three of his most dedicated students\, Che Apalache was born. What began as a bluegrass band quickly incorporated Latin American styles into their repertoire. With a combination of instrumental prowess and tight vocal harmonies\, they have curated an unusual blend of genres to reflect the nature of their lives\, evoking images from Appalachia to the Andes.\nTheir last album\, Rearrange My Heart (2019) was produced by banjo legend Béla Fleck and nominated for Best Folk Album at the GRAMMY Awards that year.\nIn March 2020\, weeks after walking the red carpet\, Che Apalache’s momentous ascent in the North American music scene was completely decimated by the pandemic\, sending them scurrying back to their places of origin across the Americas and on lockdown. \nIn 2027\, for the first time in seven years\, Che Apalache will return to the United States to delight audiences with their unique cultural exchange – from bluegrass to candombe\, gospel to Latin jazz.\nThe current iteration of the ensemble is Joe Troop (fiddle)\, Franco Martino(guitar)\, Pau Barjau (banjo)\, and Omar Ruiz-Lopez (mandolin). \n

SUMMARY:MARTY STUART & HIS FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES- STOUGHTON OPERA HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:2 SHOWS!!!   3-5PM AND ANOTHER 7:30-10:30PM \nIn a career spanning over 50 years\, dozens of albums\, and too many shows to count\, Marty Stuart still charts a course through new territory at every chance possible. The five-time GRAMMY® Award winner\, Congress of Country Music Founder\, Country Music Hall of Famer\, and AMA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has left an indelible mark on successive eras of country music and culture. He went from accompanying Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash to launching a storied solo career highlighted by classic albums such as the Gold-certified Hillbilly Rock and Platinum-certified This One’s Gonna Hurt You as well as GRAMMY® Award-winning anthems\, including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” [with Travis Tritt] and “Same Old Train.” \nImmersing himself in the world of film and television\, he notably scored All The Pretty Horses\, garnering a Golden Globe® Award nomination for “Best Original Score” and earning GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Country Instrumental Performance” for “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and “Hummingbyrd.” \nRecently\, 2023’s Altitude incited widespread critical applause. Of the latter\, Associated Press applauded how\, “Guitarist Kenny Vaughan\, drummer Harry Stinson and bassist Chris Scruggs match Stuart’s guitar virtuosity\, with thrilling results\,” and American Songwriter attested\, “Altitude finds Stuart putting his own stamp on a traditional vein of country.” NPR put it best\, “For millions\, Marty Stuart is the very image of country music—splendid jackets\, musical mastery and his respect for country’s traditions and a good jolt of humor.”You’d be hard pressed to find a corner of country music he hasn’t impacted though. \nSpeaking to his influence\, he hosted the long-running fan favorite television series The Marty Stuart Show and notably remains a member of the Country Music Foundation and Grand Ole Opry. Moreover\, the Country Music Hall of Fame inducted him during 2020. He also curated and launched Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music in Philadelphia\, MS\, preserving and celebrating the genre and its history. \nJoined by his longtime band The Fabulous Superlatives\, he cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length double LP of original instrumentals entitled\, Space Junk. The cover art of Space Junk is a painting by Stuart’s longtime hero and pal\, Herb Alpert\, leader of the Tijuana Bass\, a group Stuart considers to be one of the greatest instrumental bands of all time. The inimitable interplay between Marty\, Kenny Vaughan\, Harry Stinson\, and Chris Scruggs fuels this cosmic cowboy trip with sun-kissed surf guitar\, breezy California rhythms\, soul stirring steel\, and fluid fretwork all-around. Space Junk sounds like country music’s preeminent band crash landing on a Malibu beach and performing the most epic jam you’ve ever witnessed by starlight…
