Description

Performing at the Tarheel Opry House in Jacksonville, North Carolina on Friday August 10, 2012. Written by Ervin T. Rouse in 1938, the "Orange Blossom Special" is a fiddle tune about a passenger train in Florida. The original recording was created by Ervin and Gordon Rouse in 1939. The song is often called "The Special" and has been referred to as "the fiddle player's national anthem". Formed in North Carolina in 1974 with a taproot that reaches the bedrock of Southern music, the Super Grit Cowboy Band branches out into western swing, country, bluegrass, and rock & roll with an intensity for each that compromises none. Dubbed in New York's VILLAGE VOICE newspaper as "The South's Hottest Honky-Tonkers", these seasoned pros have criss-crossed the United States and Canada for the past thirty-two years with their amazing versatility and sparkling virtuosity, in a show that is entertaining, humorous and always full of surprises.
