Hire Del McCoury Band:
GRAMMY award-winning The Del McCoury Band is an American bluegrass band.

When talking traditional bluegrass, it is hard to find an article, review, or feature that doesn’t use the Del McCoury Band synonymously with “high lonesome.” It could be said that Del is the definition of “high lonesome.”

For more than 30 years, Del McCoury has been actively playing Bluegrass Music. Since his apprenticeship with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys in the ’50s, he has played with some of the best bands in Bluegrass.

Del has been recording and performing for four decades. Early in his career, he was a member of the Bluegrass Boys, playing guitar and singing with Bill Monroe. In the early 1960s, he formed his own band, The Dixie Pals, and went on to establish himself as one of the most distinctive and recognizable performers in bluegrass.

Stringent rhythm guitar and piercing lead vocals have made Del a cornerstone of traditional bluegrass music. The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awarded Del the Male Vocalist of the Year three years in a row.

In an interview, Del was asked about his preference for the blues. “The blues have a lot in them for a singer. There’s more melody that you can get out of a slow, bluesy tune. You can turn it and twist it, and this and that. I like to see what I can get out of it.” Whether it is bluesy, hard-driving, or high lonesome, what he gets out of it is making some of the hottest bluegrass heard today.

In 1981, Ronnie joined The Del McCoury Band as a vocalist and mandolin player. The tight vocal harmonies of Del and Ronnie will spur chills on any given night. Instrumentally, Ronnie is one of the premier mandolin players in bluegrass and a sought-after studio musician. Ronnie is IBMA’s Mandolin Player of the Year for 1993 and 1994. Winning this award two years straight makes Ronnie and Sam Bush the only winners since the award’s inception.

In 1987, Robbie joined the band, first as the bassist, then two years later switching to banjo. Robbie has been called “one of the most exciting and masterful new interpreters of Scruggs-style banjo picking.” Robbie has been a finalist in the Banjo Player of the Year category for three years running.

The band recorded with Steve Earle on “I Still Carry You Around” on his 1997 album, El Corazón. They shared co-billing on his 1999 album, The Mountain.

In 1999, the Del McCoury band was named “Entertainer of the Year” at the International Bluegrass Music Awards.

In 2004 they were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album for It’s Just the Night, and in 2006, they won that category for The Company We Keep.

Mike Bub, bass and harmony vocals, and Jason Carter, fiddle, round out the Del McCoury Band. Mike has performed and recorded with many well-respected bands. Being an accomplished banjo player as well, he brings an innate sense of rhythm to the band. Jason joined the band in 1992. Playing in the bluesy style of many of the bluegrass pioneers, Jason’s fiddle playing is right at home.

Though anchored by Del’s strong vocals, the group as a whole has been recognized by the IBMA as finalist in every category possible, excluding only the Female Vocalist of the Year Award. In addition to Ronnie’s award for Mandolin Player of the Year, the band walked away with awards for Album of the Year (“A Deeper Shade of Blue“) and Entertainer of the Year for 1994.

The McCourys made several appearances on “The Nashville Network” as guests on “Music City Tonight,” “The American Music Shop,” “Crook & Chase,” “Country Music News” and the “Americana Network” on “Ronnie Reno’s Old Time Music Festival,” as well as The Grand Ole Opry. Touring extensively, the band performs year-round throughout the United States and abroad.

The Travelin’ McCourys are an offshoot of the Del McCoury Band, featuring all current (2009) members of the band minus Del, augmented by guitarist Cody Kilby on live performances.

The Travelin’ McCourys also often play joint concerts with the Lee Boys.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE DEL McCOURY?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire DEL McCOURY for an event?)
(i.e., what is DEL McCOURY booking fee to perform at an event?)

Official booking fees for DEL McCOURY, or any other celebrity, are determined based on a number of factors and may change at any time without prior notice.

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist’s calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist’s concerts, the current demand for the artist’s music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist’s price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist’s manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
