Givin' It Up For The Upstate
Three-time Grammy Award winner, including his latest Cost of Living album, and
one of the most anticipated performers to grace The Handlebar, with his last show
selling out weeks in advance, Delbert McClinton is a towering icon. Since the
release of his 1975 solo debut, Victim of Life's Circumstances, McClinton firmly
stamped his Fort Worth-bred blues, country and blue-eyed soul onto the pop-music
landscape. A succession of influential and critically acclaimed albums followed,
along with such coups as his appearance on "Saturday Night Live" – and a nod to
Delbert's playbook from Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as The Blues Brothers. He
scored hits like "Giving It Up For Your Love" and "Sandy Beaches”; won a Grammy
with Bonnie Raitt for their "Good Man/Good Woman" duet; and his songs have been
covered by Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Wynonna, Lee Roy Parnell, Martina
McBride, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. True Delbert fans know the rest, and
they're already lining up for tickets.
