All-Star Tribute To Jimmy Martin
The Dixie Beeliners
On Saturday night, April 30th, New York's vibrant roots music community will pay tribute to a living legend. Through songs and anecdotes, the city's brightest emerging bluegrass and country stars will come together to celebrate the colorful legacy of Mr. Jimmy Martin.
Known as "The King of Bluegrass" and "Mr. Good 'N Country," MCA recording artist Jimmy Martin is a character like no other in the annals of bluegrass music. Jimmy's aggressive rhythm guitar added a fierce drive to the sound of bluegrass music, and his strong, high vocal range helped create what has become known as the "high lonesome" sound.
Featuring a truly amazing lineup of guests, the April 30th tribute is not to be missed. Expect to hear from Brandi and Buddy of acoustic whiz kids The Dixie Bee-Liners, as well as The Cobble Hillbillies, Zane Campbell, Red Molly, Astrograss,
Straight Drive's Jen Larson and Terry McGill, Mary Olive and Danny from Reckon So, Sheriff Uncle Bob, Trip Henderson, and many more! A number of these talented performers appeared together on the legendary Alphabet City Opry, so the show will represent a reunion of some magnitude!
