BarryHOST

BarryHOST
I do want to ask you, how awesome was Sam Bush and Sierra Hull? opening that, uh, event the other night at the Memorial Auditorium.
BarryHOST
Those two songs were pretty spectacular, weren't they?
BrianHOST
So cool.
BarryHOST
But the real reason we're here is that this is a world-class event that just happens to be in our backyard.
BarryHOST
And it's got world-class musicians.
BarryHOST

Billy StringsGUEST
You know, we went...
Billy StringsGUEST
the last time it's just an honor to be nominated and to be even spoken in the same sentences, the other nominees like Molly Tuttle and Sam Bush and, um, Willie Nelson was in that category.
Billy StringsGUEST
And, you know, it's just, for me, it's like to even be in the, a classmate of these people is like, cool.
Billy StringsGUEST
I'm in the same class.
Jimmy OlanderGUEST
... was an amazing singer.
Jimmy OlanderGUEST
I remember Sam, the great Sam Bush going, "Yeah, Gene Johnson swings a big bat." And it was true.
Jimmy OlanderGUEST
We had, we had a cast of thousands coming through subbing for him.
Evan PaulHOST
Wow.
Craig HavighurstHOST
He played guitar on Dolly Parton's Grass Is Blue, The Dixie Chicks' Home, Dierks Bentley's Up on the Ridge, and many more.
Craig HavighurstHOST
He was integrated into the world of Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, and Sam Bush for a variety of history-making acoustic records and tours.
Craig HavighurstHOST
And on Music Row, he's recorded on massive country records by pretty much everybody you could name: Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs, Eric Church, Morgan Wallen.
Craig HavighurstHOST
The list is very long.

Bryan SuttonGUEST
And I thought, "I wanna do what Jerry Douglas does."
Craig HavighurstHOST
Mm.
Bryan SuttonGUEST
"I wanna be on records and I wanna, you know, play on stages," and notice other players from the bluegrass world that were doing that, like Mark O'Connor and Sam Bush and Stuart Duncan.
Bryan SuttonGUEST
And, uh, so Anthony, you know, said, "Yeah, just come hang out at the studio," and I did.
Chris WuerthHOST
Um, so on the banjo, um, is it important to you, you personally to have your own style so much that people can just hear a little banjo and say, "Oh, that's Frank Evans"? I mean, I guess every player would, would love to have that.
Chris WuerthHOST
I mean, you hear Tony Rice or you hear Sam Bush or you hear, you know, Bela Fleck right off the bat you know it's them.
Chris WuerthHOST
Is that kinda, is that a goal of yours? Do you feel like you have that now, or do you feel like that's something you work on or?
Frank EvansGUEST
Um, you know, it, it's, yeah, I guess it's a goal to have a, a unique sound.
Frank EvansGUEST
Um, and so I kind of keep that in mind, more of an arrangement, like a cohesive arrangement in mind, as opposed to, like, this is the thing I do every fiddle solo or every sh- or fiddle tune, I mean.
Frank EvansGUEST
Um, so I don't know if I have a, a direct answer, but I think g- in general, I do like the sound of sticking to melody or playing around the melody, and, um, I love that, that sound.
Frank EvansGUEST
I mean, Sam Bush is, I think, one of my favorite examples of that, where he's, like, plays the melody really well, always has kind of, like, a interesting ending or, like, a little ending line, and has these little kind of shave-and-a-haircut lines that are different every time, and they're always really engaging.
Chris WuerthHOST
Mm-hmm.
Hayes GriffinHOST
All right.
Jon StickleyGUEST
got this and then and he was like and so listen to these CDs the original David Grisman quintet Bela Fleck live art and Sam Bush howling at the moon those three house and I was I took those home and I was hooked like right away you know I hadn't I had heard like the Beverly Hillbillies theme song I think that's all the only bluegrass I had heard at that point.
Jon StickleyGUEST
So this is my entrance into the world of that.
Jon StickleyGUEST
And I fell in love instantly with the Grisman album.
27 MINS LATER
Jon StickleyGUEST

Hayes GriffinHOST

Jon StickleyGUEST
that story to Sam Bush the other night and it cracked him up to no end.
Jon StickleyGUEST
It was so awesome.
Vince GillGUEST
...
Vince GillGUEST
it was a band that Sam Bush was in before he started New Grass Revival, and bunch of great musicians were in, in the Bluegrass Alliance, and it was kind of a training ground for young, young bluegrassers.
