John McEuen will bring his Circle Band (and special guests) to Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center on Saturday, November 16, at 7:30 a.m. The event will be a musical and multimedia look back at McEuen's long career with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the genesis of this classic piece of American musical history.
In this extended version of Checking on the Arts, Darel Snodgrass talks with John McEuen about his early days selling magic tricks at Disneyland with Steve Martin, the beginnings of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in Laurel Canyon in the 1960s, McEuen's recording with bluegrass and country idols, his new record, and more.
