Sam Bush News

Seven Springs Mountain Resort is kicking off a bluegrass and country festival today featuring nationally known artists, including Grammy Award winner Sam Bush.

The International Bluegrass Music Association is getting ready for the newly-named Wide Open Bluegrass festival, to be held at the Raleigh, NC Convention Center and Amphitheater on September 27th and 28th.

A whole slew of Nashville residents have pretty impressive billing at this year's Bonnaroo: There are of course bluegrass heavyweights Del McCoury and Sam Bush , not to mention former Drive-By Trucker and recent Nashville transplant Jason Isbell and his 400 Unit .

That's Sam Bush in reference to his seventh solo album, Circles Around Me . With so much history - co-founder of the New Grass Revival, in-demand studio and live musician, fiddle champion, Grammy winner and much more - was he really only feeling that way within the past few years? "I tend to rejuvenate every so often," he says.

Families and music enthusiasts will enjoy award-winning entertainment on select Fridays throughout the summer at Frontier Park.

Michelle Tanner was at Pickin' in the Pines, a bluegrass- and acoustic-music festival based in Flagstaff, Ariz., listening to Dan Kruger's banjo, when she felt so moved that she decided to take action.
