John McEuen

John McEuen is a founding member of Nitty Gritty Dirt band, now in their 40th year. He is the only California musician to perform solo at the Grand Old Opry, then play it several times with his band, and be featured as a guest with several of the Opry member acts - and recorded with the Nashville's Country music creators, and had records in the pop and country charts. He instigated what Rolling Stone (in 1972) called “The most important record to come out of Nashville” and what the 2004 ZAGAT survey called “the most important record in country music” - Will the Circle Be Unbroken - and in 2006 was named by CMT as one of the 40 most important albums in Country Music.
