Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Announces Farewell Tour

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has announced their All the Good Times farewell tour.

The trek kicks off March 21 in Bowling Green, Kentucky and winds its way across the country. The run is currently scheduled to end Sept. 14 in Kansas City, Missouri, however a press release noted that further dates will be announced later.

“‘All The Good Times’ perfectly describes our career,” said the band via statement. “Playing our music for Dirt Band fans all over the world has been an incredible experience for us. The most important part of that has been the connection to our audience—that beautiful communal give and take is like nothing else. That’s the very spirit we’ll be celebrating as we head into our farewell tour. We’re really looking forward to seeing you folks. Good times will be had by all!”

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Has Toured for Nearly 60 Years

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band originally formed in 1966 and quickly spawned a following. Blending country and folk rock, the group — led by singer-guitarist Jeff Hanna — scored hits in the ’60s and early ’70s with such classic tunes as “Mr. Bojangles,” “Buy for Me the Rain” and “Jambalaya (On the Bayou).”

In the ’80s, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band lent heavier into its country elements to great success. Between 1983 and 1989, the group landed an impressive 16 singles in the Top 10 of Billboard’s country chart.

Across nearly 60 years, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s lineup has seen constant turnover (including briefly featuring Jackson Browne). Hanna and drummer Jimmy Fadden are the only members to stay in the group throughout its entire existence.
