Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder Concert
For two special night, Friday and Saturday, November 16 and 17, you can see the newest member of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, Ricky Skaggs, live!

Ricky Skagg’s 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. Come celebrate a lifetime of music! Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. both nights. Click here for ticket information.
