Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Performs Tonight at WHBPAC

Get down to the nitty gritty with the wildly popular, multi-platinum selling, country rock group, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center tonight, August 23 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $75, $90, $100 and are available online at www.whbpac.org.

Profoundly influential, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band laid the foundation for generations of bands, from The Eagles to Alabama to Uncle Tupelo. With multi-platinum and gold records, strings of top ten hits, multiple Grammy, IBMA, CMA Awards and nominations, the Dirt Band continues to add to their legendary status. Their groundbreaking Will The Circle Be Unbroken album has been inducted into the U.S. Library of Congress as well as the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Fans can expect to hear hits like "Fishin' In The Dark" and "Mr. Bojangles" as well as songs from the band's newest album, Speed of Life. The band could have lived out the rest of its days on the road, playing chart hits for crowds of contented listeners. But with Speed of Life, the proof that they're still a viable musical force today is evident. With a delightful blend of roots music brimming with good vibes and great playing, there's no better time to get down and into the Dirt.
