Sam Bush is a true American music legend and is considered an originator of progressive bluegrass music. With 3 Grammy wins, 16 Grammy nominations, too many IBMA awards to count and an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award under his belt, he continues to lead the charge in improvised string music.
The Father of Newgrass and King of Telluride has long since established himself as roots royalty, revered for both his solo and sideman work, which includes time with Harris, Lyle Lovett, and Béla Fleck. Americana Music Association awarded Bush the Lifetime Achievement Award for Instrumentalist. Punch Brothers, Steep Canyon Rangers, and Greensky Bluegrass are just a few present-day bluegrass vanguards among so many musicians he’s influenced. His performances are annual highlights of the festival circuit, with Bush’s joyous perennial appearances at the town’s famed bluegrass fest earning him the title, “King of Telluride.”
