The Band is in its 27th Year in 2008 Delaney Brothers Bluegrass is a central New York-based contemporary bluegrass band that has built a widespread reputation through dedication and hard work to the furtherance and professionalism of bluegrass music. This year, Delaney Brothers Bluegrass celebrates 27 years of entertaining bluegrass audiences throughout the northeastern United States at various concerts, private parties, and bluegrass festivals.
Forming in the summer of 1981, brothers Ray and John Delaney saw the need for a fresh local central New York bluegrass group to promote the "New Traditionalism" of bluegrass music through professional appearance, tight vocals, and new and different instrumental arrangements. Since its inception, the band has seen a lot of success on the bluegrass circuit, not the least of which was being invited to be a Showcase Band at the 2001 Annual IBMA Convention in Louisville, KY. They have shared the stage with Dr. Ralph Stanley, The Seldom Scene, Alison Krauss, The Del McCoury Band, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, and the "Father of Bluegrass" himself, Bill Monroe.
This, our 27th year, will kick off with an exciting new
sound as the band maximizes the talents of two new members,
Nick Piccinini (banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and vocals) and
Jonathan Delaney (upright bass and vocals), who join with the
founders of the band, Ray Delaney (guitar, mandolin, vocals)
and John Delaney (mandolin, guitar, vocals), along with long-time
member "Diamond" Joe Davoli (fiddle and vocals). Delaney Brothers Bluegrass maintains a busy performing schedule during the festival season, and is constantly working on new material during the off-season.
