A Grammy Award-winning multi-instrumentalist, Bush doesn’t seem old enough to be a musical legend. And he’s not. But he is.
Alternately known as the King of Telluride and the King of Newgrass, he’s been honored by the Americana Music Association and the International Bluegrass Music Association.
“It’s overwhelming and humbling,” Bush says of his lifetime achievement award from the AMA. “It goes along with the title cut of my new album, ‘Circles Around Me,’ which basically says, how in the hell did we get this far? In my brain I’m still 17, but I look in the mirror and I’m 57.”
Bush has helped to expand the horizons of bluegrass music, fusing it with jazz, rock, blues, funk and other styles. He’s the co-founder of the genre-bending New Grass Revival and an indemand musician who has played with everyone from Emmylou Harris and Bela Fleck to Charlie Haden, Lyle Lovett and Garth Brooks.
