Superstar Vince Gill has received 20 Grammys for his solo work and two nominations for his collaboration as a member of The Time Jumpers. The award-winning Western Swing band from Nashville, Tennessee, comes to RiverCenter, Saturday, February 21st at 7:30pm.
Tap any member of the super group on the shoulder and the face that turns to greet you will be that of one who’s made major contributions to the richness and vigor of country music. Their individual recording and performing credits cover virtually the entire history of country music, ranging from Slim Whitman to Carrie Underwood.
"They are the most talented people in the world, in one band!" —Miranda Lambert, CMT.com
Established in Nashville in 1998, the group just wanted to spend some spare time jamming with their sonically gifted buddies. Pretty soon they were drawing lively crowds. The combination of tight arrangements, soulful singers, brilliant soloists, and an irresistibly swinging rhythm section have packed their weekly performances for close to ten years.
As word spread, big stars began dropping by, some to sit in with the band, others just to enjoy the vast array of country, swing, jazz and pop standards The Time Jumpers rejoiced in playing. Among those drop-bys were Bonnie Raitt, Reba McEntire, Norah Jones, Robert Plant, The White Stripes, Kings Of Leon, Jimmy Buffet and Kelly Clarkson.
In 2013, the band’s self-titled release on Rounder Records was nominated for 2 Grammys— Best Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group—Country, and Best Country Album.
The current edition of The Time Jumpers includes 10 members, each a master of his instrument. They are Vince Gill (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), “Ranger Doug” Green (vocals, acoustic rhythm guitar), Paul Franklin (steel guitar), Brad Albin (upright bass), Larry Franklin (fiddle), Andy Reiss (electric guitar), Kenny Sears (vocals, fiddle), Joe Spivey (fiddle, vocals) Jeff Taylor (accordion, piano) and Billy Thomas (drums, vocals).
