Known for both his traditional style, and eclectic combination of rockabilly, honky tonk, and country music, American country music singer and Grammy Award-winning icon Marty Stuart is considered one of the genre's most historically minded "new" traditionalists. He is an accomplished artist, performer, producer, writer, and photo-journalist, and has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1992. He remains a vocal supporter of traditional country music, an astute photographer of legendary country performers and a constant collector of country-related artifacts, including the world-famous Nudie suits made popular by Roy Rogers and Elvis Presley. He has also hosted TNN's Marty Party series and exhibited a portion of his collection at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Stuart has performed and recorded with music legends including Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Doc Watson, and is destined to join their ranks as one of country music's most influential stars.

Marty Stuart's current solo career continues on successfully. With four gold albums and countless hit singles, he is one of the most acclaimed instrumentalists in the business and his songwriting skills have matured and sharpened as he writes with new-found sensitivity. In his trademark Nudie suit, performing music inspired by his Mississippi Delta upbringing and deep country roots, Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives capture the hearts of country music lovers of all ages.
