With one of the most compelling lineups in the group’s storied history, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, featuring founding members Jeff Hanna (lead vocals, guitar) and Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica, vocals); longtime bandmate Bob Carpenter (keys, vocals)—a member since 1980; along with Jim Photoglo (bass, vocals); Jaime Hanna (guitar, vocals); and Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin, vocals); remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. NGDB is GRAMMY®, CMA, and IBMA Award winners, and their "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band & Friends - Fifty Years, Circlin' Back!" for PBS was an Emmy Award-winning television special with classics such as "Fishin' In The Dark," "Mr. Bojangles" and "Modern Day Romance" on the U.S. Country charts to their credit and the renowned and groundbreaking Will The Circle Be Unbroken series of albums in which the band collaborated with many of the best bluegrass, country, and folk artists in the world. The band also has enjoyed vast success on the U.S. Country charts with hits like "Fishin' In The Dark," "Modern Day Romance," and "Long Hard Road."
