Eggy Members Join Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers In Charlottesville

Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers tour with Eggy got underway at the Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday. Bruce Hornsby welcomed Eggy members and others during his set.

After opening up with “Bright Star Cast,” from Hornsby’s 2020 album Non-Secure Connection, Bruce brought out Eggy drummer Alex Bailey and bassist Mike Goodman to sing backing vocals on “My Resolve.” The pair took part in some tasty three-part harmonies with Bruce on the tune that also appears on Non-Secure Connection. Watch the performance below:

Hornsby also welcomed collaborators and fellow renowned Virginia musicians John D’earth and Bobby Read. Read was a former member of The Noisemakers, to add horns to “Sneaking Up on Boo Radley” and “The Tango King.” Watch a clip of “Tango King”:

Following the D’earth/Read sit-in, Bruce performed perhaps his most well-known song, “The Way It Is,” which saw the musician picking up his dulcimer. Additional Hornsby favorites performed included “Cyclone,” “The Valley Road” and “Mandolin Rain.” Following the latter, Bruce sealed the show with a cover of George Jones‘ “The Grand Tour.”

Bruce Hornsby and Eggy’s tour continues tonight (September 29) in Woodstock, New York. Scroll down for itinerary and ticket info.
