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.

SHOW: 10 PM // TICKETS: SUGGESTED $5-$10 DONATION @ DOOR // 21+

Born from Nostalgic Love of Jazz, Alternative-Rock and Soul, this eclectic ensemble is on a mission to redefine the boundaries of genre by removing those boundaries. Led by charismatic frontman Reggie Headen, whose soulful vocals and electrifying stage presence commands center stage. Drawing inspiration from legends like Betty Carter, Nirvana and Amy Winehouse, Nighttime Noon channels the spirit of the past while forging a path toward the future. Their music is an intersection of styles and influences, blending the improvisational freedom of Jazz with the raw energy of Rock and the soulful grooves of classic R&B.

Behind him, is the multi-instrumentalist Andrew Lawniczak (Trumpet, Flugel Horn, Keyboards, Bass), the brazen Johnathan “Boss Hog” Reilly (Baritone Saxophone, Alto Saxophone), the scorching Andy Burns (Guitar), the debonair Keith Snyder (Bass) and the cool-calm-collected Cyril Foster (Drums)

FRIDAY May 31 – SAVE THE DATE | Sam Bush Band w/ Jon Stickley Trio @ Pisgah Brewing Black Mountain
May 23 all-day

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!
