At the age of 13, he was regularly performing with bluegrass pioneer Lester Flatt and he spent much of the late 1970s touring with Johnny Cash.
Indeed he is name a country or bluegrass master and chances are Stuart has played in that artist's band.
"What I have a passion to do is to take what I've learned in the past with the masters and bridge it into the future," he said.

An accomplished instrumentalist, Stuart has forged a path through the country ranks with a series of infectious hits such as "Hillbilly Rock" and "Little Things." He explained in the Richmond Times-Dispatch that his work is based on a fusion of bluegrass, vintage rock, and Western swing. The satin-and-rhinestone-clad country rocker aims to build on country's roots and bring an authentic hillbilly look and sound back to Nashville. Addresses: Publicist- Summer Harman, Gurley & Co, 1101 17th Ave. What a journey that song has had: from slightly anachronistic acoustic country tune to bar-band standard to chart-topping country hit to a stage at the Country Music Hall of Fame.Born John Marty Stuart, September 30, 1958, in Philadelphia, MS married Cindy Cash (divorced). Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor, giving a shout out to recently deceased New Lost City Ramblers musician and folklorist John Cohen, then tore into “Wagon Wheel,” for which Stuart returned to the stage with an enthusiastic dance. On Wednesday, they let the Mississippi native sing his gutsy, hilarious weed endorsement “I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home),” a longtime live staple that he recently released. Though he may not be a permanent addition to the band, Charlie Worsham fits right in with the Old Crow Medicine Show guys, with whom he’s been touring. But the breakout star was drummer Harry Stinson, who paused his tumbling tom-tom patter to provide what can only be described as a cheek-slapping mouth-percussion solo. Noting it was the “country” version of the song, Fabulous Superlatives member Chris Scruggs led the charge with a bassline that was doing a lot more running than walking, while Stuart and Vaughan kept up the manic, wave-riding energy on their guitars. Stuart nodded to some of the surf-rock influences that permeated Way Out West with a delightful cover of the Surfaris’ “Wipe Out” around one microphone.

Instrumentalist Buck Trent gave a lesson in showmanship and the sonic possibilities of the banjo during his brief guest appearance. On a ferocious rendition of “Tear the Woodpile Down,” they dove off in different stylistic directions, with Vaughan firing off some searing blues licks and Stuart sticking to string-bending country twang, while on “Old Mexico” - from Stuart’s excellent Way Out West - Stuart kept a steady acoustic rhythm and sang while Vaughan created the vibe with some eerie, tremolo-effect doodles. Stuart and Fabulous Superlatives member Kenny Vaughan make for a thrilling collision and combinations of skill when they both have guitars strapped over their shoulders.
