Celebrated for their rich blend of country, folk, and rock, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been a staple of the American music scene since the 1960s.

For decades, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has entertained audiences with their top-shelf musicianship and timeless hits “Mr. Bojangles,” “Fishin' In The Dark,” “An American Dream,” and many more. And now, the time has come for the band that has carried a torch for American country and roots music to say so long to the highways and byways they’ve crossed an unimaginable number of times throughout their career. No need to fret, this isn’t goodbye forever, but it will be the last fans see of multi-city runs and long bus rides from the group.
“‘All The Good Times’ perfectly describes our career,” said the band in a statement this week. “Playing our music for (Nitty Gritty) Dirt Band fans all over the world has been an incredible experience for us. The most important part of that has been the connection to our audience—that beautiful communal give and take is like nothing else. That's the very spirit we'll be celebrating as we head into our farewell tour. We really look forward to seeing you folks. Good times will be had by all!”
