Ricky Skaggs (born July 18, 1954 in Lawrence County, Kentucky) is a 14 time Grammy Winner and a country and bluegrass star, singer, musician, producer, and composer. Skaggs's music career began in 1970 when he joined Ralph Stanley's bluegrass band, the Clinch Mountain Boys.
Ricky Skaggs got his start in bluegrass music, sharing the stage with Bill Monroe at age 6, yet it wasn’t until the early 1980s that he broke into mainstream country and charted three No.
Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder walked on to the stage and launched into a blistering instrumental that boldly announced that the audience was in for a night of traditional straight-ahead bluegrass.
Ricky Skaggs often plays his first shows of the year at The Birchmere. This year, he told Friday night’s audience, he first played a couple of shows in his hometown, where he lives with his second wife, singer Sharon White, and her 89-year-old father, Buck.
