Living Bluegrass legend Del McCoury may be 72-years-old, but he keeps a working schedule that would have most twentysomething musicians begging for mercy. This year, McCoury and his band toured extensively (including a local date at the Aronoff) with the Preservation Hall Band in support of their joint album, American Legacies. For most septuagenarians, that would have been plenty of action for (at least) a year, but over the summer McCoury hit the road with his sons' band, The Travelin' McCourys (his kids are also in McCoury's group), and Keller Williams, along the way playing practically every music fest imaginable, including, of course, Del's own DelFest. Oh, and McCoury was inducted into the International Bluegrass Hall of Fame last year to boot.
The travel companions close out their festival circuit touring with Delloween, billed as a two-day, two-city "indoor festival on wheels." The Halloween blowouts take place Friday in Covington and Saturday in Roanoke, Va.
Delloween, featuring The Del McCoury Band, The Travelin' McCourys and Keller Williams, takes over Madison Theater Friday. Go here to read Mike Breen's full Sound Advice.
