Sam Bush – Telluride, CO
06.24.2009 | No Comments »
In a set that seemed custom-made for the festival environment, the King of Telluride, Sam Bush, played his 36th Telluride Bluegrass Festival during the Satruday-evening time slot.
He joked that he was lucky to be only 38-years-old and playing his 36th festival and that he had known “about this gig for weeks.”
He told some stories about ‘Stringbean’ Akeman, his first time at Telluride and the formation of New Grass Revival and being told by Bill Monroe to stick with the fiddle instead of the mandolin. He declared he was left “verklempt” twice by his guests.
