In Telluride, he is royalty, but please, hold the drum rolls and cornets. The instrument of choice for Sam the Man, King of Telluride, is the diminutive mandolin. Throughout his 30+ year career, by ignoring orthodoxy, Sam Bush did as much as anyone since Bill Monroe to put his instrument on the map. The way he dug in, plucked and strummed, and never mind what he played, added new power and syncopation to the mandolin's percussive chops. Sam's harmonic vocabulary continues to cross musical boundaries, fusing the instrument's more traditional sounds with jazz, rock, blues, funk, and whatever other sounds entered his busy head.

Sam Bush is a trailblazer and Doer #367.
