Considering his professional career began in 1964 and it still continues today, means that Peter has been performing for five plus decades. He is a bluegrass singer-songwriter with both an amazing solo career and a bandleader career. He performs internationally as a solo act. The Travelin' McCourys live up to the travelin' part of their name. They are 21st century musical pilgrims and adventurers. They can be found both on the road and online, but you really won't want to miss them live. They are loved and respected by bluegrass faithful, but they are always trying to find ways to make things fresh. Blue Grass has never sounded so good; don't miss it at Penn's Peak. Tickets are $17/advance; $22/day of show. Doors open at 6pm and the show will begin at 8pm.
