Doyle Lawson
Lawson and Quicksilver (DLQ) have nearly 40 albums to their credit. Called a “mandolin virtuoso” with “perfectly silken harmony” by The New York Times, Lawson was inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 2012 at the Ryman Auditorium. DLQ’s recent albums In Session and Burden Bearer were both nominated for Grammy Awards as Best Bluegrass Album of the Year for 2016 and 2017.
His latest release Life Is a Story mixes Bluegrass styles “from the middle of the road to the very traditional.” But the album never strays from the heart of the genre.
“So much of what makes good Bluegrass and Country music compelling comes down to great songwriters – and the stories told in their songs,” Lawson said. “Life itself is really a continuous story that embraces the beginning, the middle and inevitable ending.”
DLQ are seven-time International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Vocal Group of the Year winners, and have multiple Grammy, Dove, Inspirational Country Music Association, and other IBMA award nominations. For his contributions to cultural heritage as a musical trailblazer, Doyle received the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship award in 2006.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information call the Box Office at 423.354.5169.
