Ozark Mountain Daredevils - 2000's

2000's

Since that time the band has gone into semi-retirement but usually emerges each year to play shows, sometimes joined by former members Larry Lee and Randle Chowning. The current lineup contains Dillon, Cash, 'Supe,' Ron Gremp and Dave Painter (who joined for the 2004 Shrine Mosque show). Beginning with a series of shows in May 2007 at Gillioz Theater in Springfield, Kelly Brown joined as the group's new keyboardist. These shows were recorded for a later DVD release.

A brand new live album by the Daredevils, a two-disc set featuring 21 tracks, including old favorites, rare songs and a couple of new ones, titled Alive & Wild, was made available in October 2011. This was taken from shows performed at Wildwood Springs Lodge in Steelville, Missouri in the fall of 2010. The band line up for these shows was: John Dillon, Steve Cash, Michael ‘Supe’ Granda, Ron Gremp, Dave Painter, Kelly Brown, Bill Jones, Ruell Chappell and Nick Sibley (guitar, mandolin, backing vocals). Since 2010, the band has continued to make concert appearances with this nine piece line-up.
