Keller Williams Joins The Travelin McCourys
THE TRAVELIN’ MCCOURYS FEATURING KELLER WILLIAMS TO PERFORM A HANDFUL OF SPRING DATES IN COLORADO
The Travelin’ McCourys Featuring Keller Williams were brought together by equal parts mutual admiration and the desire to change the musical landscape while staying true to their bluegrass roots. The sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury, The Travelin’ McCourys feature Ronnie McCoury on mandolin and Rob McCoury on banjo. Along with an ever changing cast of guest musicians, they McCoury’s have recently teamed up with Keller Williams making a perfect – albeit unexpected – fit.
The two have a lot in common after all: their high energy, ever-evolving live shows, their individual playing prowess, and their strong and unique song writing skills. It’s a perfect marriage of instrumental virtuosos, memorable songwriting, infectious musical camaraderie, and undeniable energy.
Ronnie says, “We like to go in and play traditional bluegrass music the way we do it with Dad, but we also like to be able to step into situations where we can really stretch out. If we need to plug in, we’ll plug in. We’re open to anything.â€
And with both acts known to bring epic and spontaneous live collaborations to theaters and festivals across America – The Travelin’ McCourys Featuring Keller Williams take this collaborative spirit one step further, bringing something fresh and unexpected to the live stage. The first 2012 dates are announced – a spring run in the mountains of Colorado (April 12, 13 and 14) – with more dates to be announced in the coming months.
