\n
\nThe 50th Anniversary All-Star Tribute to THE FLYING BURRITO BROS.\, is thrilled to announce the addition of drummer \;Jim Goodall\, the longest surviving\, tenured member of The Flying Burrito Bros. Jim will replace Don Heffington. This is nothing less than a deep dive into the origins of contemporary legends such as \;The Eagles\, their forbears \;The Byrds\, and their descendants &ndash\; \;The Flying Burrito Bros.\, \;founded in 1969 by \;Gram Parsons\, \;Bernie Leadon\, \;Chris Hillman\, \;Sneaky Pete Kleinow\, \;Chris Ethridge \;and \;Michael Clarke. Parsons\, whose early death and Joshua Tree cremation are the stuff of rock myth\, resurrected The Byrds with his dynamic country &\; western phrasing on 1968&rsquo\;s seminal &\; influential &ldquo\;Sweetheart of The Rodeo\,&rdquo\; following the departure of David Crosby &\; Gene Clark. Parsons then left with Hillman to form The Flying Burrito Bros.
\n
\nThe band continued through the 1970s\, never capturing the Gram Parsons front man dynamic\, until 1979 when singer/ songwriter and multi-instrumentalist \;Greg Harris \;was &lsquo\;discovered&rsquo\; by stalwarts Kleinow\, &\; then Burritos members (Byrds&rsquo\;) bassist Skip Battin &\; Gib Guilbeau. Greg&rsquo\;s performance of classic Parsons&rsquo\; material was uncanny. This era of the band\, mostly intact\, continued into the 1990s.
\n
\nGREG HARRIS\, multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter and vocalist arrived in LA signed to RCA Records in 1977. He worked a short stint in the infamous Palomino Club house band. He did session work for everyone from \;The Everly Brothers\, \;Alabama \;&\; \;Gene Parsons\, joining The Flying Burrito Bros. in 1979 and recorded two projects\, "\;Live in Tokyo"\; in 79&rsquo\; and "\;The Burrito Bros Live In Europe&rdquo\; in 86&rsquo\;.
\n
\nJEFF PEVAR\, sought after guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist\, vocalist is possibly best known for his touring &\; recording work with sixties music icons\, \;David Crosby\, \;CSN\, \;Phil Lesh &\; Friends\, \;Joe Cocker\, \;Ray Charles\, \;Jazz is Dead \;&\; \;Jefferson Starship\, with whom he played bass for the \;Woodstock 40th \;Anniversary Tour. He also supported \;Bette Midler\, \;Rickie Lee Jones \;and many others.
\n
\nDAVID JACKSON\, bassist - has amassed such a heady range of credits\, it would be impossible to list all of them. He has toured/ recorded with \;Jackson Browne\, \;Dillard &\; Clarke\, \;John Denver\, \;T-Bone Burnett\, \;Joe Cocker\, \;Glen Campbell\, \;Linda Rosnstadt \;and \;Hoyt Axton \;with whom he famously co-wrote \;Three Dog \;Night&rsquo\;s #1 chart topping Bilboard hit - &ldquo\;Joy To The World.&rdquo\;
\n
\nJIM GOODALL\, drummer/percussionist from Los Angeles\, is the longest surviving tenured member of The Flying Burrito Bros. Historic &\; extensive legacy line-up. Besides touring the world with band founder \;Sneaky Pete Kleinow\, Greg Harris (leader of this project)\, Skip Battin &\; Gib Guilbeau in the 1980s-90s iteration of The Burritos\, Jim has recorded with \;The Band&rsquo\;s Rick Danko\, \;Fariport Convention&rsquo\;s Jerry Donahue \;and was a member of the critically acclaimed band \;Medicine.
