FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Country music group Diamond Rio and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band are set to perform in Fredericksburg as part of the After Hours Concert Series at Marks & Harrison Amphitheater. Tickets are on sale now for the Oct. 5 concert.

Formed in 1989 in Nashville, the six-man band Diamond Rio recently celebrated their 30th anniversary as a group. The band has sold more than 10 million albums, won a Grammy Award, a Dove Award, and multiple Country Music and Academy of Country Music awards.
