Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives Nominated For Americana Music Association “Duo/Group Of The Year” Award

GRAMMY© MUSEUM PERFORMANCE AND Q&A, SEPTEMBER 27TH

FALL TOUR DATES WITH CHRIS STAPLETON & HEADLINING DATES CONFIRMED

WAY OUT WEST OUT NOW ON SUPERLATONE

“Way Out West” is rootsy psychedelia in a late-1960s-early-1970s daze,
like the Grateful Dead dropping by Laurel Canyon.”

“With “Way Out West”, Marty Stuart is and always has been what is right about country music.”
–Eric Church

“… one of the last remaining links to traditional country, roots music, and the generation of greats
like George Jones and  Hank Williams.”

Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives have been nominated for “Duo/Group of the Year” for the Americana Music Association’s 16th Annual Americana Honors & Awards. Stuart and his band will perform “Time Don’t Wait,” off their latest album Way Out West, at the Americana Honors and Awards show on September 13, 2017, which will take place at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. More info about nominees and the awards show can be found here.

The band will also perform on September 27^th at LA’s The GRAMMY© Museum to commemorate the closing of the exhibit “Marty Stuart’s Way Out West: A Country Music Odyssey.” Stuart will return to the Clive Davis Theater with the Superlatives for a Q&A and performance, hosted by GRAMMY© Museum Executive Director, and co-curator of the exhibit, Scott Goldman. Opened on May 25th, Marty’s exhibit marks the first GRAMMY© Museum exhibit to explore the history of country music, and features artifacts from many iconic artists, including Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Buck Owens. This program is free and open to the public and full information can be found here.

Marty Stuart recently announced fall tour dates with Chris Stapleton. Stuart will be a special guest opener for arena dates in Baton Rouge, San Antonio, Bossier City, Austin, and Grand Rapids. Stuart also announced additional dates on his headlining tour in support of Way Out West, his 18^th studio album (full dates below).  Tickets for all these shows are on sale now and can be found here.

Five time GRAMMY-winner Marty Stuart released Way Out West on Superlatone earlier this year. The album was conceived as a love letter to the promised land of California by one of Country music’s living legends, who has played with everyone from Johnny Cash to Lester Flatt. NPR Music proclaims: “Way Out West is Marty Stuart’s album-length paean to the myth and magic of the American West. It finds country’s stalwart neo-traditionalist turning cosmic cowboy for a journey through the Joshua trees, shadowy canyons and desert dreams that tantalize travelers with the promise of a golden shore on the other side.” Way Out West is available on CD, vinyl, and digitally here.

Produced by Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), and featuring the Fabulous Superlatives —guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson and new member, bassist Chris Scruggs– Marty’s longtime band, which NPR Music said could “melt your heart with four-part harmonies, rock your bones with honky tonk, and dazzle you with picking worthy of their name,” Way Out West is a cinematic tour-de-force.

Marty Stuart is a five time GRAMMY-winner, platinum recording artist, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the Americana Music Association, Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, photographer, musician, and songwriter. Since starting out singing gospel as a child, Stuart has spent over four decades celebrating American roots music. His teenage years on tour with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt in the ’70s were followed by six years in Johnny Cash’s band in the ’80s, and a chart-topping tenure as a solo artist in the ’90s. Stuart hosts a Late Night Jam at The Ryman, a yearly tradition which kicks off the CMA Music Festival, with recent guests including Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Neko Case, Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, Maren Morris, Dan Auerbach and many more.
