The Del McCoury Band brought down the house New Years Eve at the Ryman Auditorium! Wow! They were the first band of the night to play unplugged and they sounded fantastic! It was refreshing to hear the instruments without pickups for the first time of the night. After a full set the band was joined by The Infamous Stringdusters, The Emmit-Nershi Band, Ronnie Bowman, Chris “Critter” Eldridge, Don Reno and a great deal of friends and family.

The Infamous Stringdusters kicked off the New Years celebration… I would have liked to hear them without pickups on the instruments, but a great set to start off the night. They were joined by Del for “Little Cabin Home on the Hill” sung by Del and Travis. Ronnie stayed for a few additional tunes. Playing a good part of the show was Chris Eldridge, known to all as “Critter,” who was right at home with his old band mates. Check out more of what Critter is doing at PunchBrothers.com.

What an amazing treat! IBMA was fortunate enough this year to have the legendary Tony Rice accompany Mountain Heart for after hours and official showcases. Between the 2 sets, a good number of classic Tony tunes were covered such as Manzanita, Old Train, Blue Railroad Train, and Nine Pound Hammer. Mountain Heart is an amazing band and Tony seemed to be having a blast… definitely the highlight of the entire IBMA conference!

Andy always sounds spectacular… whether with Ricky, Three Ring Circle, the Whites or anybody. I’d like to see Andy get more recognition at IBMA in the future, he’s one of the best out there in my opinion.
