On Friday, March 28th, 2003 at 9pm, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long Island will host a concert with bluegrass mandolin player SAM BUSH.

Perhaps best known as the founder and driving force behind the legendary New Grass Revival (NGR), Sam Bush’s ability to make music that exceeds all expectations is evident by listening to his work. At age 19, he founded New Grass Revival, a band of inventive and aggressive high caliber musicians that for 18 years challenged the preconceived notions of traditional bluegrass instruments by fusing a wide range of styles,
including gospel, rock, pop, reggae, jazz, country and bluegrass.

After NGR, Bush went on to lead Emmylou Harris’ Grammy-winning Nash Ramblers for five years. An in demand session player, Bush, who plays mandolin, fiddle and guitar, has recorded on albums by Leon Russell, Doc Watson, Steve Earle, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and Pam Tillis. He’s also worked with the likes of David Grisman, Ricky Skaggs, Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, Lyle Lovett and Dolly Parton.

Sam Bush’s joyous way with music, a seamless blend of styles, was featured most recently on the soundtrack for the hit movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”. Keep in tune with the revival of bluegrass, IMAC is proud in welcoming Sam Bush to our stage.
