Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder

January 19 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder

Fifteen-time GRAMMY® Award winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. The legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact.

In the past decade, he has been honored with inductions into the Gospel Music Association’s Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame. In 2018 Skaggs was also awarded membership into the National Fiddler Hall of Fame, the IBMA Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, and country music’s greatest honor, the Country Music Hall of Fame. Ricky struck his first chords on a mandolin over 60 years ago, and he continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. Ricky Skaggs is always forging ahead with cross-cultural, genre-bending musical ideas and inspirations.
