Please join us for our first concert as part of the 2021-22 Series, as Chris Jones & the Night Drivers along with Special Guest Paul Kramer pay respect to the Delmore Brothers in an honorary tribute!

Chris Jones & the Night Drivers make some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving bluegrass music heard anywhere today. Deeply rooted in tradition but never bound to it, they deliver original music with tight arrangements, emotion-al authenticity, and engaging humor. As actor and banjo player Steve Martin says, “Chris Jones’ voice is there with the great masters,” adding that the Night Drivers are “some of the best players in bluegrass.” Collectively, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers have won 16 IBMA awards.

The band’s latest release, The Choosing Road, has proved to be enormously popu-lar. The album’s refined dynamics and heartfelt original songs produced four number one hits, a band record. “Bend in the Road” spent 20 weeks on the chart. Their recent 2020 single release “Leave it at the Gate” became Chris’ 15th #1 song.

Chris Jones & the Night Drivers are currently signed to one of bluegrass music’s top record labels, Mountain Home Music Company, for whom they’ve recorded three critically acclaimed albums.

A well-established band formed in the mid-1990s, Chris Jones & the Night Driv-ers have become popular repeat performers at major festivals like Merlefest in North Carolina, California’s Huck Finn Jubilee, and the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. They have filled a wide variety of venues around the world, touring across the U.S. and Canada, and all over Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Ireland. Together with the band and as a solo artist, Chris has released 14 albums.

Not content to rely on their long track record of success, the band continues to grow and change, with two new members joining in late 2019: celebrated blue-grass veteran Marshall Wilborn and exciting newcomer Grace Van’t Hof.

Chris Jones’ soulful singing, solid guitar skills, and impressive versatility have earned him the respect of the best musicians in the world. Chris Jones & the Night Drivers make some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving bluegrass music heard anywhere today.
