The Travelin' McCourys are a dynamic bluegrass ensemble that carries on the rich legacy of the genre while imprinting their own innovative stamp on the music world. With roots firmly planted in the rich soil of American bluegrass tradition, the band has blossomed under the guidance of mandolin virtuoso Ronnie McCoury and his brother Rob McCoury, an equally talented banjo player. Both are sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury, and with their bandmates, fiddler Jason Carter, bassist Alan Bartram, and guitarist Cody Kilby, they form an outfit renowned for creatively bridging the gap between the traditional and the progressive in bluegrass music.

The band's eponymous album, "The Travelin' McCourys," showcases their seamless melding of classic and contemporary styles, earning them critical acclaim and strengthening their reputation as torchbearers of the bluegrass genre. Their inventive covers, such as "The Whole of the Moon" and Steven Stills' "For What It's Worth," alongside playful tracks like "I Like Beer," demonstrate the band's versatility and willingness to explore beyond the boundaries of traditional bluegrass. Their committed fan base, penchant for improvisation, and rigorous touring schedule have solidified The Travelin' McCourys' status as one of the most exciting and beloved acts in the modern bluegrass scene.
