Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives

August 17 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$26 โ€“ $246
Country Music Hall of Famer, fivetime Grammywinner, and AMA Lifetimeย Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off onย Altitude,ย his first newย album in five years, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers andย drifters, misfits and angels, honkytonk heroes and lonesome lovers. Thereโ€™s a desertย flare to the music here, a sweeping, spacious feel that conjures up wideopen horizonsย and endless stretches of twolane highway, and the production is raw and cinematic toย match, tipping its cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle andย twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuartย to rest on his laurels,ย Altitudeย instead showcases the work of a searcher with anย insatiable appetite for growth and reflection, one whose ambition, much like his keenย wit and rich imagination, only seems to grow with each and every release.
ย 
Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lesterย Flattsโ€™ band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twentyone, he was working in theย studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputationย backing up royalty, it wasnโ€™t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his ownย right, and over the course of fortyplus years as a solo artist, he would go on toย release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, andย just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way.
