The Del McCoury Band
to
Newberry Opera House 1201 McKibben St., Newberry, South Carolina 29108
Vince Gill said it simply, and maybe best: He'd rather hear Del McCoury sing "Are You Teasing Me" than just about anything. For 50 years, Del’s music has defined authenticity for hard-core bluegrass fans--count Gill among them--as well as a growing number of fans only vaguely familiar with the genre. As leader of the Del McCoury Band, he plays guitar and sings lead vocals along with his two sons, Ronnie McCoury and Rob McCoury, who play mandolin and banjo, respectively. In June 2010, he received a National Heritage Fellowship Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 2011 he was elected into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.
