Hailed the "King of Newgrass" by fans and media alike, Sam Bush has been considered one of contemporary string music's most compelling performers and one of the foremost innovators in acoustic music for over 30 years. He was the driving force behind the hugely influential band New Grass Revival (1971-1989) a group of innovative and aggressive high caliber musicians who challenged the preconceived notions of traditional bluegrass music by fusing a wide range of styles that included gospel, rock, pop, reggae, jazz and country. In addition to his work with his own band, Bush has collaborated with other progressive artists including Joshua Bell, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer Emmylou Harris and David Grisman.
