RUSSELL MOORE & IIIRD TYME OUT
OCT 3 -
BLUEGRASS MUSIC HALL OF FAME & MUSEUM
For over
30 years, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out have been touring and
releasing great, original bluegrass music. After spending a handful
of formative years as a member of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
(and recording some legendary bluegrass music in the process),
Russell Moore formed IIIrd Tyme Out in 1991, and bluegrass music
hasn’t been the same since. IIIrd Tyme Out helped usher in a new
era of youthful, energetic bluegrass and established a unique sound
that has lasted well into the 21st century.
Three
decades later, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out are one of
bluegrass music's most-awarded touring bands with over 50 industry
accolades to their credit. In 2019, Moore received his 6th Male
Vocalist of the Year award from the International Bluegrass Music
Association, maintaining the record as their most awarded in that
category. With 18 albums and plenty of miles under his belt, Moore
is excited about celebrating over 30 years with the band. “Even
with all these years into it we’re just as ready to hit the road
and play the music as we were our first day on the road in 1991.”

bluegrass/Americana icon Missy Raines takes inventory of where she
stands at this current juncture in her storied career — this
melodic ode to her native West Virginia, which simultaneously
serves as an ideal prism of time and space Raines peers through
into the unknowns of tomorrow.
Throughout her storied career, Raines has garnered
some of the biggest accolades in the music industry, including 14
International Bluegrass Music Association honors, with 10 being
awarded for “Bass Player of the Year.” Raines’ 2018 release Royal
Traveller was also nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Bluegrass
Album” in 2020.
