(UNION, NJ) -- Now 86 and still in superb voice, the revered country and bluegrass singer, Dr. Ralph Stanley will include a performance at Kean University's Wilkins Theatre on his farewell tour on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30pm. The Man of Constant Sorrow Tour: The Dr.'s Farewell will be a fantastic celebration of the life of Dr. Ralph, the mountain music he's made famous and his legacy that will endure through the course of time.

He has three Grammy awards, one as best male country vocalist, a category in which he competed with Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Lyle Lovett.
Opening for Dr. Stanley will be the YouTube sensation, Sleepy Man Banjo Boys playing their up-tempo acoustic string music inspired by Flatt & Scruggs and The Stanley Brothers.
