T Bone Burnett (Bluegrass set)

Despite critical acclaim as a performer, the rootsy singer-songwriter T Bone Burnett earned his greatest renown as a producer, helming recording sessions for acts ranging from Roy Orbison and Elvis Costello to Counting Crows and Sam Phillips. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, he grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, soaking in the area’s indigenous blend of blues, R&B, and Tex-Mex sounds. He has won multiple Grammy, Academy and Golden Globe awards.
