When Robert Plant and his Band of Joy needed a man who could do it all, they called on Darrell Scott, and he delivered. Mark Knopfler and Steve Earle each made the same call to Tim O'Brien, and he delivered. Darrell and Tim have travelled the highways and byways of America recording and playing their unique brand of country, Americana, and bluegrass music. Although these two musicians are extraordinary on their own, when Tim and Darrell perform together they create music so captivating and harmonies so compelling, you begin to wonder how they have ever been apart. O’Brien, GRAMMY-winning mandolin player, described as “one of the spearheads of contemporary bluegrass,” is known on the festival circuit for his earlier groundbreaking work with Hot Rize and later work as a solo artist. Scott, a GRAMMY-nominated performer, is best known for his resolute guitar playing, rough and honest vocal style and success as one of the best country songwriters of his time. Between the two of them, they have written major hits for Garth Brooks, The Dixie Chicks, Keb Mo, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Guy Clark, and Sam Bush. Both are multi-instrumentalists, wizards of mandolin, guitar, banjo, and bouzouki. Darrell Scott and Tim O’Brien are two master musicians and songwriters that have that special chemistry that happens only once in a life time. These men play together like they were meant to play together and to experience this concert you will see why many say that Tim and Darrell are one of the greatest songwriter/picker duo's in the history of Americana. Some music you experience with your ears, some with your eyes. You will feel this music at the base of your spine. It is what all music should be.
