2024 Grammy Award Winner Bobby RushDuring his renowned stage show BOBBY RUSH frequently jumps high into the air, arms spread and legs tucked, only to land gracefully and return without a hitch to his dazzling routine. It's a move you might expect at a contemporary R&B show, but it's downright shocking when you realize that Rush is in his late 80s.
"I never thought I would be here this long," says Rush. "I was 83 years old before I won a Grammy, but it's better late than never. I laugh about it, but I'm so blessed and I surely never thought I'd be making a living doing what I'm doing. I'm not just an old guy on my way out."
Hardly. Rush's busy schedule includes headlining European festivals with his band and solo programs at venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center, while actively recording and releasing records including his 2024 Grammy winning album All My Love For You. Over the last several years he's won two more Grammys, re-recorded his 1971 hit Chicken Heads together with his old friend Buddy Guy and young blues star Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, and written a critically acclaimed autobiography, I Ain't Studdin' Ya: My American Blues Story.
