This concert is included in our 2024 Bluegrass & BBQ Series!
About: Chris Jones & The Night Drivers make some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving bluegrass music heard anywhere today. Deeply rooted in tradition but never bound to it, they deliver original music with tight arrangements, emotional authenticity, and engaging humor. As actor and banjo player Steve Martin says, “Chris Jones’ voice is there with the great masters,” adding that the Night Drivers are “some of the best players in bluegrass.”
Collectively, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers have won 18 IBMA awards and racked up 21 #1 songs. The band’s latest release, their first all-original album, Make Each Second Last, has received rave reviews, so far yielding an unprecedented eight consecutive #1 songs, and topping both the Bluegrass Today and Roots Music Review airplay charts. Their song, "Riding the Chief," was nominated for 2022 IBMA Song of the Year!
Chris Jones’ soulful singing, solid guitar skills, and impressive versatility—not to mention his warm sense of humor and deep knowledge of country and bluegrass music history—combine to make him one of the most dedicated, talented, and tasteful songwriters working in the genre. Joined by highly-regarded musicians Mark Stoffel (mandolin), Grace Van’t Hof (multi-instrumentalist), and special guest Marshall Wilborn (bass), it’s no wonder Chris Jones & The Night Drivers are hailed as “one of the best bluegrass bands making a presence today” by Bluegrass Today {read the full review}.
