Explore the sounds of bluegrass with
mandolin player Sam Bush, who performs in Farthing Auditorium
tomorrow.
“Sam Bush was the founder of the new grass revival
and he’s known for crossing over into other musical
genres and exploring the limits of bluegrass,” Office
of Cultural Affairs Director of Marketing and Public Relations
Denise R. Ringler said.
Bush’s music style explores a mix of bluegrass, jazz,
blues, rock and Latin music.
“He’s very much a collaborator, performing with
other bluegrass artists, and appearing on records by leading
artists such as bluegrass artist Allison Krauss and country
singer Garth Brooks,” Ringler said.

Originally from nearby Eastern Tennessee,
the Rob Russell and The Sore Losers upcoming show at Murphy’s
Restaurant and Pub will be the group’s first time performing
in Boone.
“We’ve played in the surrounding areas of Asheville,
Black Mountain and Raleigh, but not Boone. We decided it
was time to play in the college town that’s right in
our backyard,” frontman Rob Russell said.
Rob Russell and his younger brother, Andy, both grew up playing
music from a very young age. While Rob Russell played the
guitar, Andy Russell learned to play the drums.
