SUMMARY:Sam Bush at The App Theatre
DESCRIPTION:On a Bowling Green\, Kentucky cattle farm in the post-war 1950s\, Bush grew up an only son\, and with four sisters. His love of music came immediately\, encouraged by his parents’ record collection and\, particularly\, by his father Charlie\, a fiddler\, who organized local jams. Charlie envisioned his son someday a staff fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry\, but a clear day’s signal from Nashville brought to Bush’s television screen a tow-headed boy named Ricky Skaggs playing mandolin with Flatt and Scruggs\, and an epiphany for Bush. At 11\, he purchased his first mandolin. \n As a teen fiddler Bush was a three-time national champion in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest. He recorded an instrumental album\, Poor Richard’s Almanac as a high school senior and in the spring of 1970 attended the Fiddlers Convention in Union Grove\, NC. There he heard the New Deal String Band\, taking notice of their rock-inspired brand of progressive bluegrass. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives
DESCRIPTION:Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives – Country Music Hall of Famer\, five-time Grammy-winner\, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off on Altitude\, his first new album in five years\, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters\, misfits and angels\, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There’s a desert flare to the music here\, a sweeping\, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway\, and the production is raw and cinematic to match\, tipping its cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels\, Altitude instead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection\, one whose ambition\, much like his keen wit and rich imagination\, only seems to grow with each and every release. \nWebsite
