John McEuen and John Cable, previous members of the legendary country/bluegrass act The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, are headed to Chattanooga for a concert at Songbirds on Saturday, Dec. 10. The duo will be performing songs from Will The Circle Be Unbroken, the landmark platinum selling album originally released by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 50 years ago- along with contemporary originals penned by John and other storied offerings from the bluegrass/country songbook.
John McEuen is a founding member of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and has personally logged 9,500 plus concert appearances and traveled 3 million plus miles on the road both during his time as a member of NGDB and now as a solo performer.
McEuen is in his 15th year of hosting his Acoustic Traveler show on Sirius/XM and is featured in the Ken Burns documentary Country Music, which has aired on PBS. He also recently released a coffee table book showcasing 150 rare and unseen photos from the Will The Circle Be Unbroken writing and recording sessions to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the release. Will the Circle Be Unbroken- The Making of a Landmark Album has received nice press from Bluegrass Today, Westword, Aspen Daily News and others.
