Staff Report

Monday, August 15th, 2022

Fresh off an opening slot for The Black Crowes this summer, Atlanta-based folk rock band, DRIVIN N CRYIN, returns to the area with a show at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center on Friday, September 30, 2022.

Tickets go on sale Monday, August 15 at 10am and are available at www.thecenterofcc.com and the CCPAC Box Office.

After celebrating 35 years together, and after releasing four full length albums on Island Records and one on Geffen Records, founding members Kevn Kinney and Tim Nielsen find themselves enjoying a milestone anniversary for the band, having survived the pressures of fame, a shifting musical landscape, multiple lineup changes, and miles of back roads and highways to arrive here.

A quote from the band’s lead singer, Kevn Kinney, gives a little insight into what Drivin N Cryin is all about: “We are a band that’s like your record collection.” Drawing influence from a wide array of musical elements, Drivin N Cryin has developed a unique sound over the years. Their name derives from the eclectic nature of this sound: a little drivin’ rock n roll and a little country twang. Comfortable with their past and confident in their future, the band has an arsenal of songs, a full tank of gas, and no plans of stopping any time soon.
