DAVE ALVIN & JIMMIE DALE GILMORE - ALMOST ACOUSTIC DUO
Roots music legends, the Grammy winning Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore, decided to join forces and play music together in 2017. Although Texas born Gilmore was twice named Country Artist of the Year by Rolling Stone, and California native Alvin first came to fame in the hard rocking rhythm and blues band The Blasters, they discovered that their musical roots in old blues and folk music are exactly the same.
“a modern-day Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson” - Texas Monthly
"Americana legends" – Santa Cruz Sentinel
Since that discovery, Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore have recorded two critically acclaimed albums, TexiCali and Downey to Lubbock, and continued to tour, rocking the stage together with their band The Guilty Ones.
"Alvin and Gilmore stay true to their rustic roots and weave a traditional tapestry that allows them to leave an individual imprint as well." - Lee Zimmerman/Alternate Root
“…one of the most enduring musical partnerships on the planet.” – Folkalley.com
As they hit the road in 2026, this time they will bring you the Almost Acoustic Duo. Friends for over 30 years, their lively shows feature songs from the duo’s albums, as well as classic original compositions from their individual albums, while swapping songs, telling stories, and sharing their life experiences on stage. A show you won’t want to miss!
