'Yes, Charlie Daniels is well into his 80s but still touring. Despite a battle with prostate cancer, having a pacemaker installed, breaking his arm in three places at his farm and suffering a stroke while snowmobiling, the country music singer has never stopped touring for very long. Even as a senior citizen, Daniels still plans to tour in 2019.'
'The band has had many top-charting hits but only ever won one Grammy Award. The Devil Went Down to Georgia earned the band its one and only Grammy. The band has been nominated for a Grammy Award six times. It's interesting that Daniels and crew won a prestigious award for this song because it was a bit different than the band's normal style. Although Daniels was extremely talented with instruments, his vocals were somewhat limited. However, he was suitable for talking-style outlaw country songs, which is exactly what The Devil Went Down to Georgia was made for.'
'True to his roots, The Charlie Daniels Band plays many tour dates in the south every year. In 2019, the outlaw country band has tour dates scheduled in Mount Pocono, Biloxi, Tucson, Las Vegas, St. Louis and Montgomery.'
