The Time Jumpers to Bring a Slice of Nashville to the Van Wezel, 2/8

Grammy-nominated band The Time Jumpers Featuring Vince Gill, Kenny Sears, and Ranger Doug Green will get your toes-tapping at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 7 pm.

The Time Jumpers were assembled in Nashville in 1998 by an assemblage of high-dollar studio musicians who wanted to spend some spare time jamming with their sonically gifted buddies. The notion of building a devoted following was the last thing on their minds, but that's exactly what happened! Learning that Monday evenings were the slowest in the week for the Station Inn bluegrass club, the Time Jumpers settled into that fabled venue at the start of each week and set up shop. Pretty soon Monday nights were sounding a lot like Saturday nights and drawing large lively crowds... and so began the success filled journey for the Time Jumpers!

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).

Tickets are priced from $20-$55. For more information, call the Box Office at 941-953-3368 or visit www.VanWezel.org.
