Nitty Gritty Dirt Band All The Good Times

The Farewell Tour – 60 Years of Dirt | Doors: 7pm

For nearly six decades, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has entertained audiences with their top-shelf musicianship and timeless hits. Now the time has come for the band who has carried a torch for American country and roots music to say so long to the highways and byways they’ve crossed an unim-aginable number of times throughout their career.

On March 21, 2024, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band kicked off the first of its last traditionally scheduled gigs, ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour, which has received critical acclaim. This isn’t goodbye forever, but it will be the last fans see of multi-city runs and long bus rides. As 2026 approaches, so does the band’s remarkable 60th Anniversary, and to celebrate, NGDB’s ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour — 60 Years of Dirt will show-case a special slate of performances and appearances set for 2026, including a 60th Anniversary Celebration of the band’s formation (to the day) on May 13, 2026 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee. These exceptional shows celebrate the music created by the legendary, yet ever-evolving NGDB.

And speaking of music, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has a new 5-song EP, Night After Night, produced by GRAMMY® Award winner and dobro master Jerry Douglas, releasing Oct. 24, 2025. The new single title track—a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-esque rocker—is perfectly suited to kick off their release of all-new music since 2009’s Speed of Life and follow-up their critically-acclaimed 2022 release, Dirt Does Dylan. “Night After Night,” produced by fellow Grammy-winner and dobro master Jerry Douglas—who first met the Dirt Band at the age of 19 and went on to play on the group’s first number one single, “Long Hard Road”—features Jeff Hanna’s signature, every-cool vocal delivery while the freight train groove of the band never lets up. “It’s right in our wheelhouse, and it’s pretty easy to tell what a blast we had playing and singing it,” Hanna exclaims. The new EP is a family affair for Hanna, who co-wrote three of the new songs. “Nashville Skyline” was co-written by Hanna, his wife and celebrated song-writer, Matraca Berg, and his son and bandmate, Jaime Hanna.
