About Del McCoury @ 88 - a MerleFest “Delebration”
Del McCoury grew up in York County, Pennsylvania. He started out on banjo and moved to guitar and lead vocals when he joined Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in the early 1960s.
His own Del McCoury Band later took shape around his sons, Ronnie on mandolin and Rob on banjo, and has kept a hard-driving traditional sound while taking on material from Richard Thompson and other writers outside bluegrass. The band backed Steve Earle on the album The Mountain, and Del set unrecorded Woody Guthrie lyrics to music on Del and Woody. The Company We Keep won a Grammy for best bluegrass album, and McCoury is a member of the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.
