As Marty Stuart comes back to Dallas this summer, he’s reflecting on what it takes to play in the Lone Star State . Stuart was a seasoned veteran of the country music industry by the time he turned 18, a virtuoso guitarist and mandolin player who’d seen some of the biggest stages the genre had to offer as an in-demand sideman. But once he went out on his own, Texas honky-tonks still held lessons for the Mississippi native.
“We knew from the first rehearsal, this was not a band that chased anymore,” says Marty Stuart of his group, the Fabulous Superlatives. He and his band are performing at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas on Aug. 2, 2024.Stuart spent years playing with and learning from idols like Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash, and he’s had success on country radio with early ‘90s hits like “Tempted” and his Travis Tritt collaboration “This One’s Gonna Hurt You .
How does he keep the energy to improvise onstage after decades of touring? “I go to bed,” Stuart says. “Somewhere along the way I figured out it helps to go to bed, get up early, take a nap and just, you know, pace it.”Snoop Dogg aims to inspire global audience at Paris Olympics as torch bearer before opening ceremony
Stuart’s work to share country music history and connect it to the genre’s present has a long-in-process physical manifestation as well: the Congress of Country Music, the future home of the tens of thousands of pieces of country music memorabilia that the history buff has collected over the years, which is being planned in Stuart’s hometown of Philadelphia, Miss. He anticipates construction will begin later this year, with the center hopefully opening to the public in 2026.
