  • Ricky Skaggs
    Ricky Skaggs --A life full of music. That’s the story of Ricky Skaggs. By age twenty-one, he was already considered a “recognized master” of one of America’s most demanding art forms, but his career took him in other directions, catapulting him to popularity and success in the mainstream of 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. Ricky struck his first chords on a mandolin over 50 years ago, and this 15-time Grammy Award winner continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. With 12 consecutive Grammy-nominated classics behind him, all from his own Skaggs Family Records label (Bluegrass Rules! in 1998, Ancient Tones in 1999, History of the Future in 2001, Soldier of the Cross, Live at the Charleston Music Hall, and Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe in 2003, Brand New Strings in 2005, Instrumentals in 2007, Salt of the Earth with The Whites in 2008, Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 and 1947 in 2009 and Ricky Skaggs Solo: Songs My Dad Loved along with Mosaic in 2010), the diverse and masterful tones made by the gifted Skaggs come from a life dedicated to playing music that is both fed by the soul and felt by the heart. Ricky was born on July 18, 1954 in Cordell, Kentucky, and received his first mandolin at the age of five after his father, Hobert, heard him harmonizing with his mother from across the house as he played with his toys.

  • Ricky Skaggs
    2004 Induction Class Ricky Skaggs Born in Eastern Kentucky, in 1954, Ricky Skaggs was raised in the in town of Cordell, in Lawrence County. Growing up in a musical family, Ricky became an accomplished singer and mandolin player, by the time he reached his teens. By the age of 21 he had become an acknowledged master. He began his professional career playing bluegrass in 1971, when he and friend, late country singer, Keith Whitley, were invited by Ralph Stanley to join his band. He performed with J.D. Rowe and the New South on their 1975 debut album, which has become one of the most influential bluegrass albums ever released. As a member of Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band in the late 70’s, Ricky began exploring the country scene. He reached the top of the country charts in 1981 with the release of his own album, “Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine, and in 1982 became the youngest member included in the Grand Ole Opry at that time. Ricky was awarded many honors throughout the 80’s including the 1985 CMA entertainer of the year, four Grammy awards and dozens of other awards. At a time when the Nashville sound was becoming more and more popish, Ricky carried the torch for returning country to its traditional elements. He began returning to his own roots of bluegrass, and in the late 90’s Ricky established his own label-Skaggs family Records. Ricky won his 6 tth Grammy with the label’s first release, Bluegrass Rules which also took the International Bluegrass Music Association’s ‘Album of the Year” award, while breaking new sales records for bluegrass.

  • Fan Club Newsletter
    Volume 64 Sept - Oct, 2019 GENE WATSON Fan Club Newsletter Hi Friends – It seems it has finally turned into Fall in most parts of the country. Maybe not in Texas but I hear it’s changing in Tennessee and most of the East Coast. I prefer the cooler weather so I’m ready for this. We’re staying busy on the road in these months leading up to Christmas (can you be- lieve it’s coming right up!). We’ve got shows in Kentucky, Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas and two in Branson, MO so make your plans to come see us. My office was digging through some of my old photos and came up with these that they asked me about. These photos were taken in 1985. The car I’m working on was my son’s 1984 Monte Carlo SS. The car was stolen and stripped of just about everything. It also was bent and had other issues. Of course that’s just what I like to get my hands on so I wanted to be the one that fixed it up. Naturally I had to paint it. What you see in these photos is me using my own paint gun, changing the paint from plain white paint, to a metallic white paint. I mixed the metallic paint up myself. If I do say so, it turned out great! A bit of trivia for you – It was in the 1930s when metallic paints for cars were first introduced. Unfortunately these paints were first made from actual fish scales and reserved only for the very rich.

  • Thunder A-Coming Skaggs, ETSU Pride Band to Provide Masterful Mix of Music
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 10, 2015 Contacts: Anita DeAngelis, Mary B. Martin School of the Arts director, 423-439-5673, [email protected] Lise Cutshaw, MBMSOTA marketing coordinator, 423-773-5410, [email protected] Thunder A-Coming Skaggs, ETSU Pride Band to provide masterful mix of music Ricky Skaggs has played with country and bluegrass legends such as Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, J.D. Crowe and Emmylou Harris, performed at Carnegie Hall and been a member of the Grand Ole Opry for more than 30 years. In recent years, Skaggs himself has been dubbed a legend, although he told a Kentucky PBS host, “I don’t know that I will ever reach legendary status … I’m just an old country boy.” On Saturday, March 28, the old country boy from Cordell, Ky., and his band, Kentucky Thunder, will bring “An Evening of Bluegrass” to ETSU’s Martha Street Culp Auditorium beginning at 7:30 p.m. The ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band is featured as the concert’s opening act. “Our bluegrass program has had a long-term relationship with Ricky Skaggs so it only seems fitting that we actually bring Ricky to ETSU for a concert,” says Anita DeAngelis, director of concert sponsor, Mary B. Martin School of the Arts at ETSU. “Many ETSU students credit Ricky Skaggs as influencing their music to a large degree,” says Daniel Boner, director of ETSU’s Bluegrass, Old Time and Country Music Studies. “He is an expert musician, vocalist and entertainer, grounded in the traditions and culture of the Appalachian Mountains.
