Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The three-time GRAMMY Award-winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band brings the All the Good Times: The Farewell Tour to the Garfield County Fair and Rodeo on Friday, August 8. Country music star David Nail gets things warmed up at the Garfield County Fairgrounds.

Formed in southern California in 1966, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band relocated to Colorado in the early 1970s and was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2015. With strong ties to the Western Slope and the Roaring Fork Valley, the band’s Rifle stop on the farewell tour takes its storied career full circle.

David Nail

GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter David Nail comes to Rifle hot off a busy touring year in 2024. His “pull no punches” style and reflective songwriting have earned Nail a legion of die-hard fans.

Come on out to the Garfield County Fairgrounds for an amazing evening of music on Aug. 8. Tickets are on sale now at .
