Revival: The Sam Bush Story
Sierra is featured in a new documentary about her mandolin hero, Sam Bush. Not many musicians can lay claim to being the 'father' of an entire genre of music. Sam Bush can. Widely considered the 'Father of Newgrass', Sam has become the icon of his own genre. From jam bands to Chris Thile, from the Avett Brothers to Zac Brown, many of today's biggest acts in Bluegrass, Newgrass, and Americana owe a debt of gratitude to Sam.
