Sam Bush Band
Pisgah Brewing Company Outdoor Stage
Friday, May 31 2024
Tickets: $35 ADV | $45 DOS Event Information and Tickets
Sam Bush There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators, rolling out the New Grass revolution, and then leaving the genre’s torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak.
There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors, of the traditionalists, the rebels, and the next gen devotees. Music’s ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush.
Pisgah Brewing Company operates an open air outdoor bar in the summer and fall months with live music on Thursdays and Sundays on WNC’s premier outdoor music venue, the Pisgah Brewing Outdoor Stage. Check out our 2024 schedule: here!
