Del McCoury & David Grisman/Billy Strings + Don Julin

Legendary bluegrass pair Del and Dawg come to Cleveland tonight for a classic trip through decades of music. These guys share a 50-year friendship that began in New York City in the 1960s. At 75 and 69, respectively, they can still shred like no other, with Del rocking the guitar and David playing the mandolin. They’ve been performing quite a bit together in recent years, cutting an album in 2012 and touring around the country. You can expect a lot of the classics and plenty of friendly banter between tunes. David has called Del “the greatest living exponent of this music,” extolling the virtues of bluegrass greats and shining a light on his friend. They play well together, and tonight will definitely bear that out. (Sandy)
