Xentel		.	Marty Stuart
			Click for Tour Schedule Marty Stuart grew up partly in Mississippi and the rest on the road. He was only 13 when his mandolin playing landed him a job in Lester Flatt's bluegrass band. After Flatt's death in 1979, he played with fiddler Vassar Clements and acoustic guitar great Doc Watson before beginning a six-year stint as guitarist with country legend Johnny Cash. Stuart graduated to his own solo album in 1982 with Busy Bee Cafe on the independent Sugar Hill label. His studio band included such notables as Doc Watson, Merle Watson and Johnny Cash on guitar, Jerry Douglas on dobro and Carl Jackson on banjo. That led to a deal with Columbia Records and his first Top 20 hit in 1985 with “Arlene,” followed in 1986 by the album Marty Stuart. Stuart moved to MCA in 1989 and broke into the Top 10 for the first time in 1990 with a song and album title that described not only Stuart himself but a new direction for country music: Hillbilly Rock. As the Hillbilly Crusader, his reverence for the masters of the country music art form extended far beyond his music. The guitar he uses on-stage was country-rock pioneer Clarence White’s 1954 Fender Telecaster with a steel guitar-like B-string bender. He also plays a Martin D-45 formerly owned by Hank Williams Sr. and a D-28 that was Lester Flatt’s. Stuart’s second MCA album, Tempted, which was certified gold, yielded four hits: the title cut, “Little Things”, “Till I Found You” and “Burn Me Down.” In the meantime, his duet with Travis Tritt, “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’,” became a hit record. They won a Vocal Event of the Year Award from the Country Music Association in 1992 and a Grammy the next year. Stuart also became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1992, 20 years after his first appearance on the Opry stage at the age of thirteen. Marty has received eleven Grammy nominations, three awards; five ACM nominations; seven CMA nominations, one award; five certificates from BMI’s “Million-Air” club for one million air-plays and five BMI songwriting awards. He also has four albums that have been certified gold.
