Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

True Grass

Living legend. That’s a phrase all too often tossed casually around. But in the case of Del McCoury, it couldn’t be more accurate. An original member of Bill Monroe’s trailblazing Blue Grass Boys, the guitarist is simply a giant of the genre. And as his work with such varied artists as Phish and Steve Earle proves, his appeal crosses traditional boundaries, making McCoury one of the most celebrated musicians in modern American history. This Friday, The Del McCoury Band barnstorms through Burlington for a performance at the Flynn MainStage.
