IIIrd Tyme Out… LIVE IN TOLEDO!!!

We can hardly believe it ourselves… IIIrd Tyme Out is coming to Toledo. Perhaps for one of the first time ever in our little corner of the state… this bluegrass super group is coming through town and contacted us to see if we might just find an evening that would work with their upcoming June tour and we had to react!

If you haven’t heard of IIIrd Tyme Out, you are in for a wonderful treat. This band was an overnight sensation when it formed in 1991 and they have garnered over 50 industry awards including seven consecutive years as IBMA’s “Vocal Group of the Year!” This just doesn’t happen to a local jam band… this is the sign of a super combination of just the right musicians, music and voices to create one of bluegrass music’s most recognized and in-demand bands in the genre’s history.

Their a cappella renditions of many songs, featuring one of the most respected lead vocalists of all time, can rarely be matched and their superb instrumentation, from some of the best musicians in the business, provides even more quality sound to their rich vocal blend. All this along with a heavy touring schedule, including many performances on the Grand Ole Opry as well as GAC and RFD channel programs, over 14 recordings to date, and a desire to present their fans with the best music possible, makes this show here at the Glass City Opry one NOT to miss!

IIIrd Tyme Out, consisting of Russell Moore (guitar), Steve Dilling (banjo), Justen Haynes (fiddle), Wayne Benson (mandolin), and Edgar Loudermilk (bass), has it’s origins in the fact that this is the third time out for founding member, Russell Moore and consequently the third professional bluegrass band association for him. No doubt, the third time has proven to be a charm.

Respected writer and musician Chris Stuart, in his perceptive liner notes for Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out’s Rounder records release ‘Footprints: A IIIrd Tyme Out Collection’ writes, “IIIrd Tyme Out has their own brand of bluegrass: unmatched quartets and trios, masterful lead singing, dead-on rhythm, tasteful fills, lyrical solos, and great songs. From stage left to right they are a complete band – perhaps the most complete band of the past two decades.”

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see one of bluegrass’ most respected and enjoyed bluegrass bands, here LIVE at the Glass City Opry on Tuesday evening, June 16th, 2009. Doors open at 6:00 and the show begins at 7:00 pm. A complete evening with the band, no opening act. Normally, these concert tickets would be $25 or more, however, the price for this evening is only $20 a person, children under 15 are free with a paid adult. This will be an enchanted evening and one that you won’t want to miss.
