Marty Stuart

Stuart is one of the great minor figures in country music. He is a scholar, historian, curator, archivist, singer, songwriter and a hot picker on guitar and mandolin. He used to be Johnny Cash's son-in-law and now is married to fellow Grand Ole Opry star Connie Smith. Stuart and his aptly named band, the Fabulous Superlatives (featuring guitar ace Kenny Vaughan), cover bluegrass, gospel, hillbilly rock and all kinds of classic country with style and authority. (8:30 p.m. Aug. 28, Bandshell Tonight, free).
