SUMMARY:Sam Bush
DESCRIPTION:The “King of Telluride” delivers Rockport the high-energy\, jazz and rock-infused newgrass that earned him an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award. \nSam Bush\, a pioneering force in progressive bluegrass\, has spent over five decades redefining the genre with his signature mandolin style and genre-blending approach. Born in Bowling Green\, Kentucky\, he was immersed in music from an early age\, influenced by his father’s fiddle playing and inspired by artists like Bill Monroe and the Osborne Brothers. By his teens\, Bush had already won a three national championships in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest and recorded his first album\, Poor Richard’s Almanac. \nIn 1966\, at just 18\, he turned down an offer to join country star Roy Acuff’s band\, choosing instead to follow a more experimental path. He joined the Bluegrass Alliance in 1969\, where he first played with future collaborators. The following year\, Bush and his bandmates formed New Grass Revival\, igniting a revolution in bluegrass by incorporating elements of rock\, jazz\, reggae\, and improvisation. Despite initial resistance from traditionalists\, the band gained a devoted following\, toured with Leon Russell\, and became a staple of the festival circuit. Bush’s innovative mandolin technique and boundary-pushing compositions helped solidify New Grass Revival’s legacy through the 1970s and 1980s. \nBush moved on from the band in 1989 after two decades\, spending the next several years collaborating with Emmylou Harris’ Nash Ramblers and later Lyle Lovett. He earned multiple International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Mandolin Player of the Year awards and reconnected with Béla Fleck to tour with the Flecktones. In 1995\, he embarked on a solo career\, releasing acclaimed albums such as Glamour & Grits (1996) and Laps in Seven (2006)\, showcasing his signature mix of bluegrass\, jam-band energy\, and instrumental mastery. \nA festival favorite\, Bush became a regular at Telluride\, earning the title “King of Telluride” for his electrifying performances. His influence spans generations\, inspiring artists like Punch Brothers\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, and Greensky Bluegrass. His contributions to music were recognized in 2009 when he received the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist.

Required \nThe Clements Brothers are George (guitar) and Charles (upright bass)\, identical twins from the heart of New England. The two have been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember\, first entering the Americana music scene in 2012 as part of the internationally touring grass-roots band\, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band\,’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records.
