 John McEuen
McEuen’s broad spectrum of music Americana – bluegrass, folk, rock and country – is characterized by his expertise on the acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin, earning him the title of “America’s instrumentalist poet.”“We are very excited to have John McEuen wrap up the 2009 Summer Breeze concert series,” said Summer Breeze chairman Steven White. “We have always tried to make the most out of the last show of the season, and with this performance I think we have booked something special.” In 1966, McEuen and several fellow southern California musicians co-founded the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The group’s 30 albums included the platinum-selling Will The Circle Be Unbroken (1972), widely considered a country music milestone. Rolling Stone magazine called the LP "one of the most important recordings ever to come out of Nashville."
After 21 years with the band, McEuen broadened his artistic pursuits to include television specials, film scoring and concert production. He continues to tour with the band. |
