The Travelin' McCourys are proud to announce The Grateful Ball Tour with Jeff Austin Band! After the success of the inaugural Grateful Ball in St. Louis, the bands decided to make a tour out of it!

Late Night Shows:

Thu:  The Infamous Stringdusters feat. Nicki Bluhm with Fruition
Fri:  Yonder Mountain String Band with Horseshoes & Hand Grenades
Sat:  Greensky Bluegrass with Cabinet
Sun:  The Travelin' McCourys Sendoff feat. Keller Williams with The HillBenders
