Sam Bush

[Tailspin]

Hello Folks:

Just wanted everyone to know that I saw Sam Bush on Friday July 7th at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. Man what as awesome show. Totaly High energy and purley a class act. You dont even have to love this style of music to think this is just an awesome show put on by a creative genius. If you get a chance to see him anywhere you have to go. I could see that show 10 more times and never be bored. Just a blast. Not just a great Mando player but a multi talented artist.

Nice! One of the (many) highlights of Telluride this year was FINALLY seeing Sam play. His set on Saturday tore the tops off the mountains. I think it was partially his health scare that Thursday (he was VERY thankful to be healthy and playing), but he just strikes me as someone who always gives 100% when playing.

Someone I was talking to at T-Ride made a great comment... She said that Sam was one of the players who "wins you over" every time you see him. Basically she meant that you may remember enjoying the past shows, but every time you see him you remember, "oh yeah, he really IS that good..." The line for his autograph on Sunday was about a 1/2 mile long. By far the longest line I saw for signatures.

Sam was fabulous at the Mandolin Symposium this year as well.
A great entertainer as well as a true mando & fiddle master.

The shorter clip on the Youtube cite (same page) shows Jeff Austin AND Don Stiernberg on stage with Sam- not a great clip, but a memorable line-up!
