I rushed back from taking care of some business in Albuquerque to catch Ray Wylie Hubbard as he began his set.

There had been no indication of an opener in the information I’d been given.

Imagine a movie starring Fred Astaire and Lena Horne, and directed by Federico Fellini.

Sam Bush’s legacy is the genre-bending 'Newgrass' style that fused bluegrass, folk, and country with rock ‘n’ roll, reggae, and jazz. His music shattered any notions of purism, since bluegrass was a stylistic melting pot to begin with. Twenty-Seven years after the amicable breakup of the iconic New Grass Revival, the champion string-slinger continues to bring together yearly reunions at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and MerleFest, and tours relentlessly with his prolific Sam Bush Band.
