The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played at Canyons Village Saturday night as part of their All the Good Times: The Farewell Tour. The concert was presented by the Park City Institute.

Leading up to the concert, reporter Scott Iwasaki was able to interview keyboardist and vocalist Bob Carpenter. Here is an excerpt from that article:

“This will be the last night we play in Park City, that’s for sure, but we are looking forward to getting back to Utah,” said Carpenter, who has been a band member since 1980. “We spent a lot of time in the west, and some of us lived in Colorado and Utah for a long time. In fact, one of the guys in our road crew has a lot of family in Salt Lake, so we’ve done a lot of shows in Utah over the years. So it will be good to get back.”
