Atlanta, get ready to two-step — because one of the most electrifying acts in American roots music is rolling into Little Five Points and he is bringing the full firepower of His Fabulous Superlatives with him. Marty Stuart is coming to the iconic Variety Playhouse on May 2, 2026, and this is exactly the kind of night that reminds you why live music in this city hits different.

A Living Legend of American Music

Marty Stuart is not just a country music artist — he is a walking, guitar-shredding monument to everything that makes American music great. From his teenage days playing mandolin with Lester Flatt to his years on the road with Johnny Cash, Stuart has lived more musical history than most artists could dream about. A five-time Grammy Award winner, member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and one of the most passionate preservationists of traditional country and rockabilly sounds alive today, Marty Stuart is a genuine treasure.

And His Fabulous Superlatives? They are no mere backing band. Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson, and Chris Scruggs bring an absolutely ferocious tightness to Stuart's live show, turning every performance into a full-throttle celebration of honky-tonk, gospel, rock and roll, and outlaw country. When this band locks in together, the room shakes.
