The Nitty Gritty Dirt band has pinned a string of additional dates for its farewell tour. In the sprawling 44-date run, titled ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour, the paradigmatic country-rock sextet will bid a fond farewell to the road after an awe-inspiring 58 years of performance. Special guests who will link up with the band along the way include heavy-hitters like Hank Williams, Jr., Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Brit Taylor, Jerry Douglas and more.
On March 21, the band will depart for its six-month sprint from Bowling Green, Ky.’s SKyPAC. After a series of six shows in the Midwest and South, NGDB will hike to Louisiana to play first at the Strand Theatre in Shreveport on April 25, and then at the highly-anticipated New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 27. From there, the group will look north and pass through Alabama en route to five Midwest appearances, punctuated by a newly added stop at Warren, Ohio’s Robins Theatre on May 14.
On May 16, the band will launch its Southeastern leg with another new performance at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, W.V. Following three further dates in the region, the band will hop back to the Midwest for a second stint, highlighted by a staging at Madison, Wisc.’s Barrymore Theatre on June 25. Continuing the northern leg, the band will cross the border to play Dauphin, Manitoba’s Dauphin’s Countryfest on June 30 before heading back down for a series of southern shows that will close out on July 28 in Amarillo, Texas.
The latest leg of the ALL THE GOOD TIMES tour will truck across the West, kicking off with an Aug. 8 home-state show at the Napa Town and Country Fair in Napa Valley, Calif. From there, NGDB will hit the mountains, with shows scheduled on Aug. 10, 11 and 13 in Park City, Utah, Denver and Grand Junction, Colo. On Aug. 15 and 16, the band will play in Prescott, Ariz. and Chandler, Ariz. NGDB will begin winding down the tour in Indio, Calif. on Aug. 17, preceding a penultimate staging at Fox Tuscon Theatre in Tuscon, Ariz. the following night. Finally, on Sept. 14, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will hold its bittersweet final concert at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo., performing alongside Hank Williams, Jr.
Tickets for the new set of dates will become available on Friday, March 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time. More tour information is available on the band’s website at nittygritty.com/tour/
