All concerts are free and open to the public. Touring in support of their most recent album ‘Rest In Chaos,’ the follow up to their critically acclaimed self- titled debut in 2014, Hard Working Americans offers a sound invoking the past, present, and future of rock’n’roll music. The group combines the talents of Todd Snider, Widespread Panic’s Dave Schools and Duane Trucks, Chris Robinson Brotherhood’s Neal Casal, Great American Taxi’s Chad Staehly, and Jesse Aycock to form a unique blues and southern rock sound and stage experience. The SteelDrivers, winner of the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album, are a group of seasoned and distinguished veterans who blend their bluegrass roots with country, soul, and other contemporary influences. The result is a hybrid sound described as ‘new music with old feeling’ that was born in Nashville and has been embraced across the country.
