Fri, Jan 14, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys

For more than 22 years, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have been dishing out heaping portions of country, swing and just about anything else in between. For the uninitiated, this touring troupe not only looks like a vintage act, they also play well-worn gear that lends to the band’s authentic sound. Although seemingly relegated to smaller capacity venues, this group has earned many accolades during its storied career. If you’ve yearned for a place and time to don that ’50s-era dress or to simply put that old hat to good use, simply pack up the car and head to the hills (Grass Valley, that is) this weekend. 314 West Main Street in Grass Valley, www.bigsandy.net.
