Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives come to Kalispell in July

Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives return to the Wachholz College Center stage July 26, bringing their modern traditional country music blend of rockabilly, bluegrass and gospel influences.  

In a career spanning over 50 years, Stuart continues to chart a course through new territory. The five-time Grammy Award winner, Congress of Country Music Founder, Country Music Hall of Famer and American Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has left an indelible mark on successive eras of country music and culture. He went from accompanying Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash to launching a storied solo career highlighted by classic albums such as the Gold-certified “Hillbilly Rock” and Platinum-certified “This One’s Gonna Hurt You” as well as Grammy Award-winning anthems, including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin” with Travis Tritt and “Same Old Train.” 

Joined by his longtime band, The Fabulous Superlatives, he cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length double LP of original instrumentals entitled, “Space Junk.” The cover art is a painting by Stuart’s longtime hero and pal, Herb Alpert, leader of the Tijuana Bass, a group Stuart considers to be one of the greatest instrumental bands of all time. The inimitable interplay between Marty, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson and Chris Scruggs fuels this cosmic cowboy trip with sun-kissed surf guitar, breezy California rhythms, soul stirring steel and fluid fretwork all around.  

The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. 

Ticket prices range from $47 to $60, which includes service fees. A VIP package is also available for $210. Tickets may be purchased online at wccmt.org or by calling the ticket office at 406-756-1400. The Wachholz College Center is located at 795 Grandview Dr., Kalispell.
