Marty Stuart in Grant

Marty Stuart is an American country and bluegrass singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, born in 1958 in Philadelphia, Mississippi. A guitarist and mandolin player rooted in traditional country, he is known for songs including “Hillbilly Rock” and “Tempted,” as well as the Travis Tritt duets “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” and “This One’s Gonna Hurt You.” His albums include the narrative-driven The Pilgrim and the desert-country record Way Out West. As a teenager, he toured as a mandolinist in Lester Flatt’s band, then spent part of the 1980s playing guitar in Johnny Cash’s road band. He became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1992 and formed Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives in 2002. That same year, he launched the annual Late Night Jam at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
