ARTS Pick: The Travelin’ McCourys

McCoury talent runs deep. Brothers Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo) spearhead the modern bluegrass ensemble The Travelin’ McCourys, joined by Jason Carter on the fiddle and Alan Bartram slapping the bass. After a stop in Charlottesville, the foursome hits the road for DelFest, a Maryland-based festival named after Grammy Award-winning bluegrass musician Del McCoury, who happens to be Ronnie and Rob’s father.

Friday 4/29. $20-23, 8pm. The Jefferson Theater. 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.
