The New Christy Minstrels

The Deadwood Mountain Grand has many of good concerts. Some of which I don't know who they are. The New Christy Minstrels will be at Deadwood Mountain Grand on Sunday September 23 at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $29 and are on sale now. I have never heard of this band, so I have no idea if I would recommend this concert or not.

The New Christy Minstrels are an American folk music. This group was founded by Randy Sparks in 1961. Some of their hits include: "Green, Green," "Saturday Night," "Today," "Denver," and a cover of "This Land Is Your Land." There are seven musicians in this band.
