Music
achieves its full
emotional effect only
when performed live,
just as great literature
becomes comprehensible
only when screamed aloud
in a crowded subway
train. Enjoy public
performance with today's
Groupon to see The
Travelin' McCourys with
special guests The
Packway Handle Band on
Friday, September 23, at
8 p.m., at
Roswell
Cultural Arts Center.

general-admission
tickets (a $50 value).
- For
$45, you get four
general-admission
tickets (a $100
value).
As
the inaugural concert
for the Roswell
Presents: True Americana
series, The
Travelin' McCourys' fast-paced
plucking skills tickle
eardrums with
traditional bluegrass
sounds and innovative
tone tinkering. Music
mavens can cease
pondering what whale
songs would sound like
with a proper complement
of backup singers,
turning to the authentic
sounds of a quartet
comprised of mandolin
strummer Ronnie McCoury,
banjoist Rob McCoury,
fiddle player Jason
Carter, and upright-bass
spinner Alan Bartram.
Twenty years on the road
have led to celebrated
live collaborations with
the Allman Brothers,
Phish, and Warren
Haynes, as well as many
acts in and out of the
bluegrass community. The
group plucks their way
through acoustic and
sometimes electric
performances, treating
listeners to inventive
experiments that may
result in discoveries of
new instruments more
exciting than the keytar
or acoustic stapler.
Special guests The
Packway Handle Band
strum energetic,
alternative bluegrass as
well.
Gangs
of four or groups of two
can present vouchers at
the box office to claim
general-admission
tickets. The 600-seat
auditorium's massive
proscenium stage allows
for clear sightlines and
opportunities to
converse with fellow
concertgoers about
proper washboard-playing
technique and correct
form when bashing a
mandolin against the
stage after the final
set. This show is open
to all ages.
