Bluegrass general Sam Bush has released a new single, “Stop The Violence”, his first new music since 2016’s Storyman LP.

Released as a standalone single, Bush co-wrote “Stop the Violence” with regular collaborator Jeff Black, who’s had songs cut by Alison Krauss, Waylon Jennings and more. Bush opens the song with the lyrics, “I hate living in a world where there’s so much pain,” speaking to our country’s struggle with mass shootings, gun control, police brutality, and so many other prominent issues. Backed by a full band, Bush rocks the electric mandolin in a captivating music video produced and directed by David McClister.

Black explains in a statement,

Violence has become a disease, a bad gene in our DNA. It’s not normal, but it’s being normalized and it’s happening right in front of our kids. When Sam brought me the track and his vision for the song, I started thinking about all the folks who grow up in a violent environment, and that’s all they know. I think about the children in particular and how they are cast into it without a choice. I think the hope, because violence itself is taught and handed down through the generations, is that someday, by small acts, we can break the chain.
