Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives are returning to Wheeling’s Capitol Theatre on Saturday, November 23rd. The country music legend has been named by Rolling Stone magazine as, “One of the last remaining links to traditional country, roots, and the generation of greats like George Jones and Hank Williams.”
Pre-sale tickets are available for pre-sale on Thursday, August 8th at 10:00am with the password CAPITOL. Tickets are on sale beginning Friday, August 9th at 10:00am.
The Country Music Hall of Famer, five-time Grammy-winner, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree picks up where he left off on Altitude, his first new album in five years, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There’s a desert flare to the music here, a sweeping, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway, and the production is raw and cinematic to match, tipping its cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure.
While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels, Altitude instead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection, one whose ambition, much like his keen wit and rich imagination, only seems to grow with each and every release.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatts’ band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way.
