As cofounder of the seminal progressive bluegrass band New
Grass Revival, Sam Bush has been referred to as the "King of Newgrass".
Whether or not he agrees with this title, it cannot be argued that Bush
is certainly one of the most brilliant of newgrass's many bright
lights. When not heading his own band, Bush has spent the past 15 years
as a supersideman with the likes of Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and
the Flecktones. He was one of the "Masters of Bluegrass" at Vibes 2004,
helping to create a very memorable musical collaboration.
His band includes Byron House, Chris Brown, Stephen
Mougin and Scott Vestal.
