Del McCoury Tickets Continued
Del McCoury has had a long career in bluegrass. Although originally hired as banjo
player, he sang lead vocals and played rhythm guitar for Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys in the
1960s, with whom he first appeared on the Grand Ole Opry in 1963. Del McCoury briefly
appeared with the Golden State Boys, before taking a series of day jobs in construction and
logging, while continuing to work as an amateur musician in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
In the 1980s his sons began performing with him, and they relocated to Nashville, Tennessee as
they began to attract attention. Del McCoury became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in
October of 2003.
Del McCoury has an enthusiastic fan base known as the Del-Heads. Their base of
operations is rumored to be located on Whitelick Creek near Brownsburg, Indiana. The
mysterious leader of the Del-Heads is Doc Waddell, an extraordinay picker in his own right.
Del McCoury has influenced a great number of bands, including Phish, with whom he
has shared the stage several times, and who have covered many of his songs. He has also
performed with String
Cheese Incident, Donna the
Buffalo and Steve
Earle.
