Marty Stuart is a five time GRAMMY-winner, platinum recording artist,
Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, Southern culture
historian, photographer, musician, songwriter, TV show host,
charismatic force of nature, and country music fan. Since starting out
singing gospel as a child, Stuart, 54, has spent over four decades
celebrating American roots music with a missionary's zeal. His teenage
years on tour with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt in the '70s were
followed by six years in Johnny Cash's band during the '80s and a
chart-topping tenure as a solo artist in the '90s. The turn of the
century saw Stuart looking inward to make deeply felt records paying
homage to his love of vintage gospel, his Native American passions,
and as always, his core -- foot-stompin', tail-shakin', honky tonkin',
rockin' hillbilly music. His latest musical oeuvre is ably supported
by the coolest cats in Nashville - his backing band, The Fabulous
Superlatives: guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson, and
bassist Paul Martin. Stuart's zest for every conceivable flavor of
country music is also seen regularly by TV viewers these days, on
RFD-TV's "The Marty Stuart Show", a musical variety show and the
number one program on the network. So, what's next? As musicologist
Peter North cites, "Marty Stuart seems wrapped in his destiny at this
point in time. Not only as country music's most notable
ambassador/caretaker, but as its main archetypical crusader. He has
without question evolved into one of the most important roots
musicians and visionaries in America." Stay tuned.
