May 23, Sam Bush with The Whiskey Rebellion
Though he admits a certain discomfort with the moniker "King of
Newgrass," Sam Bush has more than earned it. As co-founder and leader
of the seminal progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival through the
1970s and '80s, Bush may not be the only person responsible for
newgrass, the wild bluegrass stepchild that features rock 'n' roll
grooves and extended virtuosic jams, but since New Grass Revival's
dissolution in 1989, Bush has certainly been one of the most brilliant
of newgrass's many bright lights. He helped create newgrass music
almost 35 years ago, but Laps in Seven is evidence that he's still as
vital a presence on the acoustic music scene as ever: still making new
sounds, still rockin' out on great songs, and still pushing the bar
higher for the legions of his protégés, fans and friends.
