Aww…Some Monday
Monday’s Music Moves Me
This is Part II of our Nashville trip. As previously mentioned, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is celebrating 60 years of making music and touring the world. This concert at the Ryman Auditorium is a part of their farewell tour as the band will be retiring from life on the road. Keep in mind, the founding members are now in their mid-seventies but their music is as good as ever. On this night they brought a few surprise guests with them and I will feature their music here. This is the last song combination of the night.
Singers/songwriters, Matraca Berg, Gretchen Peters, and Suzy Boggus make up the group Wine, Women, & Song. They preformed a couple of songs. Matraca is the wife of Dirt Band founder Jeff Hannah. The ladies make some beautiful harmonies.
The sister duo Larkin Poe are the future of folk/country. They simply are among the most talented duos you will ever hear.
Last, but certainly not least a surprise guest was hall of fame legend Emmy Lou Harris. There is not enough space to write down all that she has been a part of in over 50 years in the music industry. I still hold that the female vocalists of the 70’s were among the best that ever graced the stage and Emmy Lou was among the best of the best.
It is tradition at the Mother Church of country music to close the show with this song and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will not let you get out of the building without being a part of this legacy. Have a blessed week y’all!

It’s amazing those rockers keep on playing as they get older and they do love it and their music is great. Glad you had such a good time and a wonderful concert.

Being on the softer side of rock, with a country influence, I don’t think these guys strained their vocal chords like some groups and it has paid off for them.

These will be fantastic lifelong memories. Great voices, great musical family togetherness, great harmonies and especially enjoyed listening to the last video, with the classics Will the Circle Be Unbroken and The Weight. Your pictures at the beginning were so crisp, too. Alana ramblinwitham
