Subject: RE: Info Please: Ralph Stanley in Toronto
The whole schedule, at least at the time that I last looked. I expect some of you are close enough to some of these that there will be no need for weeping. None are closer to me than 600 miles, though.

The "Down From the Mountain" tour, featuring the likes of Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris and Patty Loveless and music from the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack will go on the road for an 18-date tour in late January.

"Down from the Mountain" will begin an 18-city tour in Lexington, Ky.on Friday, January 25th. Artists include also Alison Krauss & Union Station, The Whites, Norman and Nancy Blake, Chris Thomas King, Bob Neuwirth, The Peasall Sisters and The Nashville Bluegrass Band.

The concert will include individual as well as collective performances, culminating in a grand finale featuring all artists performing together. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster locations. Certified double platinum, the soundtrack for "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (Lost Highway/Mercury Nasvhille) features a genre of music which encompasses classic songs from America's rich musical history. The movie soundtrack, nominated for four CMA Awards, is the best selling country album of the year holding the number one position on Billboard's "Top Country Album" chart for more than 20 weeks.

The tour, entitled "Down from the Mountain," is a joint production between Immortal Entertainment Group, United Talent Agency, The Metropolitan Entertainment Group and House of Blues Concerts, Inc.
