GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — PBS Pioneer’s Grassland Jam will feature Chris Jones & The Night Drivers on Saturday, May 25 at 7 p.m. The program will be available for online viewing immediately after the broadcast on www.pioneer.org/grasslandjam.

His band, The Night Drivers, features Jones on rhythm and lead guitar, Mark Stoffel on mandolin, Jon Weisberger on bass and Gina Clowes on banjo. Altogether, members of Chris Jones & The Night Drivers have won nine International Bluegrass Music Association awards and have recorded ten No. 1 songs, including two from their latest album Made to Move.
