Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Keeps It In The Family With All-New, Jerry Douglas-Produced EP, Night After Night

For Immediate Release— Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Keeps It In The Family With All-New, Jerry Douglas-Produced EP, Night After Night Out today on NGDB Records; New shows announced including 60th Anniversary Celebration at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House on May 13th, 2026 Nashville, TN - October 24, 2025 - “For sixty years, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been a contender in all the genres they have touched, and I believe this recording is the culmination of many years of brothership and trust in the band,” says GRAMMY-winning Dobro master and the producer of the Dirt Band’s new EP, Night After Night, Jerry Douglas. The band’s first release of all-new music since 2009’s Speed of Life and a follow-up to their critically-acclaimed 2022 release, Dirt Does Dylan, Night After Night finds longtime band members Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, and Bob Carpenter joined by Jaime Hanna and Ross Holmes, along with Jim Photoglo, melding together six decades of influences, millions of road miles, and all kinds of familial collaboration.  Today’s feature track, “Nashville Skyline” (feat. Matraca Berg) co-written by Jeff, his son Jaime, and Jeff’s wife, celebrated singer-songwriter Matraca Berg, finds Jeff and Jaime strumming alongside each other on record. “'Nashville Skyline is a lament about change,” says Jeff. “A yearning love letter to what was.” A whiskey-soaked take on Nashville days-gone-by, the trio of writers deliver their message not from a soapbox, but more so with heartrending hindsight: “Them good ol’ boys   Sure made some noise   Whiskey prophets singin’ poetry with a southern accent   Downtown bars   A country band without a steel guitar   We’ve come so far can’t remember where we’ve been”  Out now on all streaming services, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Night After Night EP was recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and The Tractor Shed Studio in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and was mixed by Sean Sullivan alongside Hanna and Douglas. Fans can stream or purchase the Night After Night EP right here. A very limited number of vinyl copies of Night After Night—with music on one side and an etched graphic on the other—as well as CDs will be released on Dec. 5, 2025 and are available to pre-order at the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band online store.  Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has also just announced the next leg of tour dates in commemoration of the band’s 60th Anniversary—ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour - 60 Years of Dirt.
