Contemporary Country Rocker Marty Stuart Celebrates 20th Anniversary of The Pilgrim live at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on October 10!
“The Pilgrim is a fabulous journey,” – Johnny Cash
“This album proves Marty Stuart is the keeper of the hillbilly flame,” – Emmylou Harris
Marty Stuart is a five time GRAMMY-winner, platinum recording artist, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the Americana Music Association, Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, photographer, musician, and songwriter. While he’s too gracious to admit it himself, Stuart is living, breathing country-music history. Since starting out singing gospel as a child, Stuart has spent over four decades celebrating American roots music.
The Pilgrim is based on a true story of a man from Marty Stuart's hometown, named Norman, and his relationship with Rita, the town's beauty queen. An Opera of sorts, or as Stuart calls it, an "opry," The Pilgrim related the story of a wandering man with a broken heart, and whose only sin was falling in love with a woman who he didn't know was already married. Marty plays the role of the Pilgrim and the album features many country/bluegrass legends as guest stars including Johnny Cash, George Jones, Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs and Pam Tillis.
The live performance will consist of songs from The Pilgrim and an interactive journey of the making of the album and Marty’s career. Special VIP and Meet and Greet packages are available.
