Marty Stuart has been doing this longer than most readers have been alive. He was playing mandolin for Lester Flatt at thirteen, on the road and recording with Johnny Cash by twenty-one, and somewhere in the decades between those early apprenticeships and his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, he assembled one of the tightest working bands in American roots music. The Fabulous Superlatives — guitarist Kenny Vaughan and drummer Harry Stinson, both founding members, plus bassist and steel guitarist Chris Scruggs (grandson of Earl Scruggs, in the fold since 2015) — are the kind of unit you trust with your catalog and your legacy. Stuart clearly does.
The five-time Grammy winner brings that band to The Showroom at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, in Central New York, on Friday, July 10, with an 8:00 PM showtime. Turning Stone is one of the region’s most reliably appointed rooms for acts of this profile — a proper theater setting inside a full-service resort, the kind of room where the nuance in Vaughan’s guitar work and Scruggs’ steel actually lands the way it was intended.
About Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives
Stuart’s career now spans more than fifty years, drawing on bluegrass, rockabilly, Bakersfield honky-tonk, and rock in a blend that has resisted easy categorization long enough that the resistance itself has become a credential. The set will pull from across that history — signature pieces like “Same Old Train,” “This One’s Gonna Hurt You,” and “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” figure into every tour. But the current cycle is organized significantly around Space Junk, released on Record Store Day in April 2025 via Snakefarm Records and marking Stuart’s first full-length instrumental album. Twenty original compositions, recorded in Nashville and at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, the record navigates 1960s surf guitar, Ennio Morricone–influenced Western film atmosphere, and Bond-era spy-theme territory. Stuart’s primary instrument throughout is “Clarence” — his 1954 Fender Telecaster, once owned by Byrds co-founder Clarence White, fitted with the original B-bender device. It is not the kind of guitar that forgives casual handling. Stuart has been playing it long enough that the distinction is irrelevant.
