Sam Bush is one of the foremost innovators in modern acoustic music. Hailed as the “King of Newgrass” by fans and media alike, Bush played an integral role in changing the face of bluegrass music as a founding member of New Grass Revival. He has continued to forge new ground in his solo career, recording five studio albums (four for Sugar Hill) as well as Ice Caps: Live From Telluride.

The fact that Ice Caps is Bush's biggest seller speaks volumes to the power of his live performance. Bush has a knack for working festival crowds into a frenzy making him a commodity the most prestigious events can't live without. 

In addition to his own studio work, Bush has contributed his trademark sound to countless other artists' works. After his years with New Grass Revival, Bush went on to lead Emmylou Harris' Grammy-winning Nash Ramblers for five years. An in-demand session player, Bush, who plays mandolin, fiddle and guitar, has recorded with artists as diverse as Leon Russell, Doc Watson, Renee Flemming, Steve Earle, Garth Brooks, Soloman Burk, Trisha Yearwood, Edgar Meyer, Leftover Salmon and many others. Bush has also produced albums by Jon Randall (RCA) and Chris Thile (Sugar Hill).  For eleven years now Bush has lead the Sam Bush Band on the road, selling out the most coveted rooms from coast to coast.

ON THE ROAD DVD RELEASED ON AUGUST 14TH, 2007!

This first ever live concert DVD from The Sam Bush Band was recorded at the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, CA. Their 350-seat “Big Room” has been acclaimed as one of the West Coast's best live music venues with state of the art acoustics. Having hosted some of the top names in acoustic music, it was only natural for Sierra Nevada to bring Sam Bush in for one of his acclaimed live performances.
 

The DVD performance features Sam Bush on fiddle, mandolin, guitar and vocals, Scott Vestal on banjo, Byron House on bass, Chris Brown on drums, and Stephen Mougin on guitar. The world class band spins acoustic gold on a collection of favorites from solo releases by Sam Bush as well as his former band New Grass Revival. It also includes crowd favorite “Back In The Goodle Days,” a John Hartford tune often performed but never recorded by Sam.  

Bonus content on the disc includes interview footage from the taping at Sierra Nevada, in-studio footage from the recording of 2006's Laps In Seven, and the music video for “The River's Gonna Run” featuring Emmylou Harris and Buddy Miller.
