Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley will perform at The Belfry in February.

A legendary dobro player, Rob Ickes has been steeped in the Nashville country and bluegrass scene for three decades. He boasts an impressive list of credits, including Vince Gill, Earl Scruggs, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, and Alison Krauss.

As a young guitar prodigy, Hensley made his Grand Ol' Opry debut at age 11 and has since pushed the boundaries of the instrument with unfathomable speed and virtuosity. His rich baritone voice channels George Jones and Merle Haggard, rounding out the hot picking.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with showtime at 7 p.m. Bend songster Vern Johnson will open, with Benji Nagel accompanying. Tickets are available at belfryevents.com.
