The Savannah Music Festival announced yesterday that Marty Stuart, originally scheduled to perform with the late Porter Wagoner, has asked Georgia country great Travis Tritt to join him for an acoustic duo performance. The show will take place on March 21 at Savannah’s Lucas Theatre for the Arts.
Stuart and Tritt have a long history together. They performed together on “The Whisky Ain’t Workin’,” from Tritt’s 1991 album “It’s All About to Change.” Then Stuart released the album “This One’s Gonna Hurt You (For a Long, Long Time)” in 1992, with the title track another duet with Tritt. The title track of Stuart’s 1996 album, “Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best,” found him singing with Tritt again. The pair toured together in the early ’90s, too, about the time when both musicians were enjoying some of their biggest chart successes.
Stuart is one of country’s most respected traditionalists, despite the variety of styles he’s tackled. He was also the president of the Country Music Foundation, which oversees the Country Music Hall of Fame, from 1996 until 2002.
Marietta native Tritt infused country with a touch of Southern rock on his 1990 debut, and soon took up residence near the top of the country charts with songs such as “I’m Gonna Be Somebody” and “Here’s a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares).” His latest album, “The Storm,” was released in August 2007.
The 19th annual Savannah Music Festival, which runs March 20-April 5, covers a wide array of musical genres from bluegrass to jazz to classical. Among the highlights at this year’s edition are “The World of Slide Guitar” — with Jerry Douglas, Derek Trucks, Indian classical musician Debashish Bhattacharya and acoustic guitar master and world music scholar Bob Brozman — and the world premiere of a new work by Police drummer Stewart Copeland.

Savannah always has boring music shows. No one blessed with melanin and under 30 would enjoy any of those acts.
