With an ever-increasing list of accomplishments and achievements, the high-spirited Mississippi native defies categorization. Even Marty himself can't pinpoint his "role" – and that's the way he likes it.

"I really don't know where I fit in the music business," he says. "I just love to work. There are so many things I enjoy doing...The bottom line for me is to make good music and be the best that I can. I don't worry about where my place is. Actually, for most of my life I've not fit in and that's fine by me."

His greatest commercial success came in the first half of the 1990s on MCA Records Nashville. Stuart has recorded more than 20 studio albums and has charted more than 30 times on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

In 1991, Stuart co-wrote a song with Travis Tritt called "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'".

Stuart won his second Grammy Award in 1993, in the category of Best Country Instrumental Performance, as one of several featured artists on Asleep at the Wheel's cover of "Red Wing" on their 1993 album, Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.

In 1999, Stuart released an album called The Pilgrim. It charted the single that year with "Red, Red Wine and Cheatin' Songs". A concept album based around a love triangle, the album featured vocal contributions from Pam Tillis, George Jones, and Emmylou Harris, as well as a poem recited by Johnny Cash.

Everything about Marty Stuart – from the hand-tailored stage-wear to his ever-present mandolin – is instinctive, drawn from his vast palette of experiences. "I've always been influenced by what I was into at the moment," he says. "I've always enjoyed artists, whether they are artists who paint or artists who make music. I love people who are open and people who are evolving at all times."

Marty Stuart hasn't assembled what could be the largest collection of country music memorabilia in the world because it's trendy. He's done it because he has a genuine interest in preserving the rich heritage of the music he loves so much. He is a past president of the Country Music Foundation.

Just when you think Marty's plate is surely overflowing, you recall that he's still entertaining country fans at concerts nationwide. His high-energy shows are fun-filled romps that make audiences laugh, clap their hands, stomp their feet, sing along and beg for more.

In an age of specialization, Marty Stuart continues to "specialize" in diversity. If there's anyone today who can rival Marty for the title "Country Music's Renaissance Man," they've yet to make their presence known.

Stuart has also won five Grammy Awards out of 16 nominations. He is known for his combination of rockabilly, country rock, and bluegrass music influences, his frequent collaborations and cover songs, and his distinctive stage dress. Stuart is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame.

His discography includes 18 studio albums, one soundtrack album, two live albums, and various compilation albums, in addition to 33 singles.

(i.e., what is MARTY STUART booking fee to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
