New Songs from the Old West is a Sunday afternoon of music from the Great American West. Two songwriters, Marty Bush and Shawn Hess, are on tour and bringing their stories, songs, and tales of the Great American Heartland to Dan Electro's on Sep. 15th, 2024.

Hailing from the plains of eastern Kansas, Marty Bush is a torchbearer of the American songwriting tradition. His songs resonate with the weight of his influences such as Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Kris Kristofferson, but he has channeled their emotional honesty and unvarnished truth-telling into something uniquely his own.

From the Rocky Mountains in Laramie, WY, Shawn Hess crawled out of a western noir film and into your hearts with songs that stand firmly with one foot in the oldest roots of western music and folk and the other in a modern sensibility for narrative and rhyme.
