With legends like George Jones, Johnny Cash, and Merle Haggard, who have all passed on, country music purists often echo the question Jones once asked: “Who’s going to fill their shoes?”
The answer, in part, is Marty Stuart.
While he’s too gracious to admit it himself, the Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician lives and breathes country music history. But most importantly, Stuart continues to record and release keenly relevant music, recordings that honor country music’s rich legacy while advancing it into the future. When it comes to transforming country songs into tangible experiences, Stuart has a secret weapon: His Fabulous Superlatives.
“The Superlatives are missionaries — they’re fighting partners. They’re my Buckaroos, my Tennessee Three, my Strangers. They’re my legacy band and have been since Day One,” says Stuart.
A Country Music Hall of famer, fivetime Grammy Award-winner, and American Music Awards Lifetime Achievement honoree, Stuart knows a thing or two about standing the test of time. Born and raised in Philadelphia,

David Glover, Conductor
Conductor David Glover is in his fourth season as music director of the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra and his fifth season as artistic director of Triangle Youth Music. Known for his captivating interpretations, and engaging presence on the podium, David is in demand as a conductor across many genres, including classical, pops, and opera.
He recently concluded a tenure as the associate conductor of the North Carolina Symphony where he led over 250 concerts, including performances of major choral repertoire, such as “Carmina Burana,” the opening classical concert of the symphony’s new hall in Wilmington, N.C., and two state-wide tours. He continues to maintain a close relationship with the North Carolina Symphony and conducts numerous concert events with them throughout the year. Glover has guest conducted with numerous orchestras including the
Ensemble Orchestral de Paris, Minneapolis Pops Orchestra, Hendersonville Symphony, South Bend Symphony, Muncie (IN) Symphony, and the North Czech Philharmonic. In the past few years, he has returned numerous times to the Charlotte Symphony, including this season for their annual performances of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” with the Charlotte Ballet.
Prior to his position with the North Carolina Symphony, Glover served as associate conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and as artistic director of the Wabash Valley Youth Symphony in West Lafayette, Ind. In addition to his work with Triangle Youth Music, this season Glover is also a lecturer at North Carolina State University where he conducts the Raleigh Civic Orchestra, working with its student and community musicians.
David has raised the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra’s profile within the community, increasing ticket sales and expanding the number of concerts presented by the orchestra. In addition, he has worked with the orchestra to update the audience experience and diversify the types of concerts and programming offered.
His passion for cultivating a love of classical music in younger generations is evident in both his work with youth orchestras and his creation of a series of successful school-day education shows, which have reached over 250,000 elementary school children.
Glover holds degrees from the University of Georgia and Boston University in violin performance, and a master’s degree in instrumental conducting from Indiana University, where his teachers were David Effron and Thomas Baldner. He has participated in master classes with Kenneth Kiesler, Paavo Jarvi, Mark Gibson, and Johannes Schlaefli. In addition, he has composition studies with Benjamin Boyle and Phillip Lesser and is an active composer and arranger.
Brie Cassil is a singer, actress, and composer, who has traveled all over the world for her art. She has led musical theater workshops in Brazil and has opened for Steven Adler (drummer for Guns & Roses) with her original band, Rebel. Brie has had the

Scintillating, soothing, and sensual best describe the familiar and legendary voice of five-time Grammy Award-winning music legend, Dionne Warwick, who has become a cornerstone of American pop music and culture. Warwick has established herself as an international music icon, recording 75 hit songs, selling over 100 million records, and being honored in 2019 with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Warwick began singing in church during her childhood years in East Orange, N.J. Occasionally, she sang as a soloist and fill-in voice for the renowned Drinkard Singers, a group comprised of her mother Lee, along with her aunts, including Cissy Houston (Whitney Houston’s mother) and her uncles. During her teens, Warwick and her sister Dee Dee started their own gospel group, The Gospelaires.
Warwick attended The Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Conn., and during that time, began making trips to New York to do regular session work. She sang behind many of the biggest recording stars of the 1960s when famous songwriter Burt Bacharach heard her sing during a session for The Drifters. He asked her to sing on demos of some new songs he was writing with his new lyricist Hal David, and in 1962, one such demo was presented to
Scepter Records, which launched a hitfilled 12-year association with the label.
That same year, she had her first hit with “Don’t Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls.” Warwick, along with Bacharach and David,
accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together.
Warwick received her first Grammy Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second Grammy in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” Throughout her career, Warwick has established herself as a major force in American contemporary music and even gained popularity among European audiences, becoming the first solo AfricanAmerican artist among her peers to Continued on page 43

The Atlanta Rhythm Section got its start in 1970 when members of the band worked together as house musicians for Atlanta’s famed Studio One, known as the recording home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dicky Betts, .38 Special and other country rock icons of that time.
The musicians would play three to four days a week, laying tracks for other bands at the studio, then writing and recording songs together on their time off. Eventually, they recorded an album that landed them a record deal with MCA/Decca in 1972. The Atlanta
Rhythm Section released two albums with MCA before moving to Polydor in 1974 to release “Third Annual Pipedream.” The band took a different approach on that album, creating a punched-up but smoother sound that had both pop and rock appeal. It climbed to No. 74 on the U.S. charts and gave the group its first hit, "Doraville," which reached the Top 40.
From there, the Atlanta Rhythm Section released its breakthrough album, “Champagne Jam,” in 1978, marking the zenith of music-making, critical support, and popular acclaim for the band. Eight songs were showcased with the smooth pop production and superior standards the
group had refined for years. The songs continued the pattern of blending beautiful melodies with shifting tempos, and the album landed in the Top 10, quickly turning gold. The single off that album, "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight," reached the Top 20. But it was "Imaginary Lover" that turned out to be the band’s biggest hit, climbing its way to the No. 7 spot.
The Atlanta Rhythm Section rode the wave of success well through the years, and it continued to produce more albums, netting them more Top 40 singles and cementing their reputation as amazing live performers. With 15 albums of outstanding songwriting and performances, the Atlanta Rhythm Section embodies all that “classic rock” implies.
The platinum hit-maker Orleans is now celebrating more than 50 years of live performances. Praised for the band members’ songwriting skills, instrumental prowess, and classic trademark harmonies, Orleans’ iconic radio hits — “Still The One,” “Dance With Me,” “Love Takes Time” and many others — still resonate with audiences of all ages thanks to continued airplay on classic rock radio,

After more than 50 years of touring and recording, The Oak Ridge Boys are still considered one of the most popular, iconic acts in country music. The vocal group, known for its distinctive harmonies and upbeat lyrics, has recorded dozens of songs through the years that have made their way to the top of the country and poprock charts.
Every time members of The Oak Ridge Boys step before an audience, they bring decades of music and tradition to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere.
“When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead
singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.”
“Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of The Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”
The group’s long list of hits includes the country-pop chartbuster “Elvira,” as well as “Bobbie Sue,” “Dream On,” “Thank God For Kids,” “American Made,” “I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes,” “Fancy Free,” “Gonna Take A Lot Of River,” and many others. In total, The Oak Ridge Boys have 17 chart-topping singles, more than 30
Top 10 hits, and one double platinum single. In addition, the group has 12 gold albums, three platinum albums, and one double platinum album.
Currently, The Oak Ridge Boys are bringing its American Made: Farewell Tour to fans all over the country. The show will feature many of the group’s hits along with its stellar showmanship. The group will also be introducing a new member. Joining The Oak Ridge Boys’ on stage will be Ben James, taking the spot of Joe Bonsall as tenor.
“Many of you know I have been battling a slow onset neuromuscular disorder,” Bonsall recently announced. “I am now at a point where walking is impossible, so I have basically retired from the road. It has been a great 50 years that I will never forget. There is a young man named Ben James singing for me out there, and he needs your love and encouragement. He brings a ton of talent to the table.”
Sterban, Allen, James, and baritone William Lee Golden, are set to complete the full tour schedule for The Oak Ridge Boys American Made: Farewell Tour. The group also returned to the studio recently to record their fifth album with Grammywinning producer Dave Cobb.

Renowned for their captivating harmonies and timeless melodies, The High Kings have held the position as the distinctive voice of Irish folk music around the world for more than 15 years. The group is firmly rooted in classic folk music and the Irish tradition, and its brand-new show is a feast of well-known hits and spectacular musicianship.
In 2023, The High Kings celebrated 15 years together by releasing 15 brand new tracks as well as their eighth studio album, "The Road Not Taken," which has already amassed 2
streams. The release is a groundbreaking collaborative effort, co-written and produced by some of Ireland's most respected and popular artists. It also includes guest appearances by several international artists, including Steve Perry, frontman of the legendary rock band Journey.
As The High Kings continue to sell out venues to an ever-growing army of loyal fans, the group shows no signs of stopping. The High Kings have performed for hundreds of thousands of people around the globe including many world leaders, such as prime minister of England David Cameron and former presidents Barak Obama

Hailed by NPR as “one of America’s defining voices of freedom and peace,” Staples is the kind of once-ina-generation artist whose impact on music and culture would be difficult to overstate.
She’s both a Blues and a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer; a civil rights icon; a multiple Grammy Award-winner; and a chart-topping soul, gospel, and R&B pioneer. She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., performed at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration, and sang in Barack Obama’s White House. She’s collaborated with everyone from
Valley Music Festival 2024
Prince and Bob Dylan to Arcade Fire and Hozier; blown away countless festivalgoers from Newport Folk and Glastonbury to Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo; performed with The Band at The Last Waltz; and graced the airwaves on “The Tonight Show, starring Jimmy Fallon,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “Ellen,” “Austin City Limits,” and more.
At a time when most artists would be winding down, Staples was starting to ramp things up, releasing a trio of critically acclaimed albums in her 70s. Staples teamed up with a slew of other
younger artists— Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Nick Cave, Valerie June, tUnE-yArDs, and M. Ward, among others—for “Livin’ On A High Note,” an album The Boston Globe called “stunningly fresh and cutting edge,” and which first introduced her to Ben Harper.
“Ben wrote a song for that album called “Love and Trust,’” explains Staples. “When he said he that he wanted to produce me, I told him, ‘Well shucks, if you write another song like that, count me in.’”
Harper did more than write just another song, instead, penning an entire album of emotionally riveting and spiritually uplifting tracks that hit Staples directly in the heart. The tunes on the album fit her like a glove — due in no small part to the decades Harper spent listening to Staples’s music.
Staples got her start in music as a member of The Staple Singers, formed by her father and siblings in the early 1970s and best known for the hit singles "I'll Take You There" and "Let's Do It Again," among others.
As a solo artist, Staples continued to release albums throughout the following decades and has collaborated with artists, including Aretha Franklin, Prince, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, and Los Lobos among many others. Staples eighth studio album, "You Are Not Alone," released

Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others.
His 1986 release, “Guitar Town,” put Earle in the spotlight as it climbed its way to the top spot on the country charts and is now regarded as an
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2024
Americana classic. Subsequent releases like “The Revolution Starts… Now” in 2004, “Washington Square Serenade” in 2007, and “TOWNES” in 2009 received consecutive Grammy Awards.
Restlessly creative across artistic disciplines, Earle has also published both a novel and collection of short stories; produced albums for other artists, such as Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams; and acted in films, television — including David Simon’s acclaimed “The Wire” — and on the stage. In 2009, Earle appeared in the off-Broadway play “Samara,” for which
he also wrote a score that The New York Times described as “exquisitely subliminal.”
Additionally, Earle was recently inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He also wrote music for and appeared in “Coal Country,” a riveting Public Theater play that dives into the most-deadly mining disaster in U.S. history.
As a resolute preservationist, storyteller, and instrumentalist, Dom Flemons has long set himself apart by finding forgotten folk songs and making them live again.

Miss., he landed his first big gig in Lester Flatts’ band at the tender age of 13, and by 21, he was working on the road and in the studio with Johnny Cash.
Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up country and bluegrass royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right. Throughout his 40-year career as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than 20 major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way.
“If country music had a president, it would be Marty Stuart,” famed documentarian Ken Burns once proclaimed. “He is the embodiment of the culture.”
Stuart emerged as an unofficial caretaker of the culture too, spending much of his career rescuing and collecting country music artifacts. These days, Stuart, who Rolling Stone calls “one of the world’s foremost country experts and archivists,” has roughly 20,000 pieces in his collection, including a handwritten copy of Hank Williams’ song “I Saw The Light” and Johnny Cash’s first black performance suit.
“I’m calling it The Congress of Country Music, and I want it to serve as an inspirational spot,” says Stuart, who’s raised funds for the center with annual late-night jams at the Ryman, featuring everyone from Emmylou Harris and Sheryl Crow to Tyler Childers and Billy Strings.
Stuart's latest release, "Altitude," picks up where he left off on his 2017 album, "Way Out West" — exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers.
“I’ve always loved songs that feel like old friends but still sound new and fresh,” says Stuart. “The beautiful thing about country music is that the blueprint Jimmie Rodgers laid down —rambling, gambling, sin, redemption, heaven, hell — it’s all just as relevant now as it ever was. It’s the human condition, and if you’re honest about it, and you’ve got a real band around you, you can make something that’s uniquely yours and stands the test of time.”

television, film, and streaming services.
Over the years, Orleans has produced a body of work spanning 17 albums and several DVDs, and they continue to be in demand for live shows. While Orleans has enjoyed great success, it has also experienced tragedy. The untimely death of Wells Kelly in 1984, and the sudden passing of mainstay Larry Hoppen in 2012 prompted the
return of co-founder and former U.S. Congressman John Hall, who toured with the band until retiring in 2022. Cofounder Lance Hoppen and longtime bandmates Lane Hoppen, and Fly Amero are now joined by Nashville veterans Brady Spencer and Tom Lane on drums and guitar, respectively.
Together, they faithfully deliver the musical elements you have come to
expect from this class act with power and integrity. Since their humble beginnings in Woodstock, N.Y., and throughout countless worldwide tours, Orleans has set standards respected by other musicians and will continue to meet and exceed those standards at every show, to the delight of audiences everywhere.

His work has been recognized with a Grammy Award, two Emmy nominations, a USA Fellowship Award, and inclusion in an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. For "Traveling Wildfire," his first new album since "Black Cowboys" and second album for Smithsonian Folkways, he turns to an important, overlooked voice that he's proudly rediscovered — his own.
Raised in Phoenix, Ariz., Flemons comes from a family of civil rights leaders, Tuskegee Airmen, and preachers who were prominent figures in the Black community of Arizona. His father, a former basketball player and member of the Black fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi, introduced him to classic country music. As a kid listening to local radio, Flemons then learned more about country legends like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. In college, he studied country music history and first heard the music of DeFord Bailey and Charley Pride. That discovery ignited a passion for finding other African American performers with country songs in their repertoire.
After graduating from Northern Arizona University, Flemons moved to North Carolina and co-founded the Grammy-Award winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, a string band of young Black musicians whose members included Rhiannon Giddens. After leaving the group at the end of 2013, he established a solo career that led him to collaborate with hundreds of artists in the Americana music scene.
Along with earning a Grammy nomination for “Black Cowboys” in the
category of Best Folk Album, Flemons was included in the American Currents exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He also received two Emmy nominations through an appearance on PBS' “Songcraft Presents.”
Evocative artist-songwriter Zandi Holup is a wildflower — unique, free as the wind, and blossoming in Music City. Born in Pennsylvania, she drifted from city to city until she found her home in Nashville six years ago.
Cut from the same cloth as legendary folk singer-songwriters like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell, Holup’s raw brand of original folk-country flourishes through unfiltered storytelling reminiscent of Dolly Parton and emphasized by her emotive vocals. A grassroots following placed her on the map as snippets of demos and unreleased songs resonated across social media in increasing
numbers. Her first release, “Wait for You,” sat at No. 1 on the all-genre Spotify Fresh Finds playlist, amassing over a million streams with no promotion outside of her TikTok following.
Holup has opened for 49 Winchester, Steve Earle, Amanda Shires, Ann Wilson of Heart, and more. Named a 2023 Artist to Watch by The Nashville Briefing, Holup signed a publishing deal with Arthouse Entertainment and TurnTable Music in partnership with Universal Music Publishing, and a record deal with Big Loud Records in 2023. Her first release on the label is “Gas Station Flowers.”
