The Library of Congress inducted the multi-platinum ‘Circle’ as one of the most important American recordings (it’s also in the Grammy Hall of Fame).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The multi-media show with archival photographs, film, Circle session photos (including 8mm footage from 1967), narrative and early NGDB music takes us on his 50-year journey – interwoven with Dirt Band favorites, hot bluegrass and rare tracks!
A unique part of the show covers the 1977 Russia trip, and what happened behind the Iron Curtain to the first American band to tour there – 28 sold out shows.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”224086″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When McEuen initiated the Will the Circle Be Unbroken album with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the icons of Bluegrass, Country, and West coast country rock convened: Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Roy Acuff, Vassar Clements, and Maybelle Carter.
