He’s played with some of bluegrass music’s biggest names.
Before forming the Darrell Webb Band in 2009, he received two Grammy nominations for his performances on Dolly Parton’s Halos and Horns and For God and Country. He has received awards from both the International Bluegrass Music Association and the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America.
Along with Parton, Webb has recorded on projects with Marty Raybon, Bobby Hicks, and the queen of bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent. His 20-year career also includes performing with banjo legend J.D. Crowe and the Lonesome River Band. He has appeared on stage with Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Dierks Bentley, and more.
The Darrell Webb Band revolutionized the way acoustic music is performed. For an acoustic band performing without the use of stationary microphones, the band’s high-impact concert fully energizes the audience and keeps fans on their feet wanting more.
