Del McCoury Band

Originally Del McCoury and the Dixie Pals with Del on guitar and his brother Jerry McCoury on bass, the band went through a number of changes until the late eighties when the band solidified its line-up adding Ronnie McCoury and Robbie McCoury on mandolin and banjo, respectively. They grew to prominence in 2001 with the O Brother bluegrass boom that shortly followed the release of the Coen Brothers' movie which was fuelled by the bluegrass and oldtimey soundtrack. At this point they had been joined by Jason Carter on fiddle and Mike Bub on bass. Mike Bub left the band in 2005.
