The Central Park Performing Arts Center is proud to announce our latest addition to the 2023 April lineup with The SteelDrivers on April 22 at p.m. Tickets are on sale now and are available at LargoArts.com or by phone 727-587-6793.
Only Nashville could give birth to a band like the SteelDrivers: a group of seasoned veterans – each distinguished in their own right, each valued in the town’s commercial community – who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls’ reward. In doing so, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new design threads, bringing together country, soul, blues, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is the latest music with an old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band’s fusion as simply “an incredible combination.”
Specializing in a unique mix of what might be called bluegrass soul, the SteelDrivers have become one of the biggest names in progressive bluegrass after making their debut in 2005. While there’s a strong traditional streak in the SteelDrivers sound, they bring a passion to their delivery that adds a distinctive flavor, and they’re not afraid of adding a forceful grit to the music.
The SteelDrivers have been nominated for four Grammys, the Americana Music Association’s New Artist of the Year, and IBMA’s 2009 Emerging Artist of The Year. In 2015, “The Muscle Shoals Recordings” won the Grammy award for Best Bluegrass Recording.
The SteelDrivers are Richard Bailey (banjo), Tammy Rogers (fiddle), Mike Fleming (bass), Brent Truitt (mandolin), Matt Dame (Guitar).
