Country and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs and renowned pianist and songwriter Bruce Hornsby are back out on the road to collaborate with Skaggs’ razor-sharp band Kentucky Thunder on brand new tunes and traditional bluegrass classics.
The pair blends songs drawn from deep roots in mountain music, adding piano and Hornsby’s inimitable songwriting to Skaggs’ instrumental core of madolin, guitar, bass, fiddle and banjo into a musical feast.
They will perform at the Peace Center on February 5th. For tickets please visit the Peace Center’s website.
Ricky Skaggs is a true pioneer to the Country Music, Bluegrass and Gospel/Christian music genres with 14 Grammy Awards, eight CMA Awards, eight ACM Awards, eleven IBMA Awards, two Dove Awards and nine ICM (Inspirational Country Music) Awards.
