WMVO Good Times Great Oldies
You’re invited to kick off the summer at Ariel-Foundation Park with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder on Saturday, June 21! Tickets are on sale now
Presented by Ariel-Foundation Park and the Mount Vernon Arts Consortium, sponsored by Ariel Corporation.
A key figure in modern bluegrass, Skaggs has spent decades shaping the genre while honoring its deep roots. Accompanied by his award-winning band, Kentucky Thunder, he delivers a performance defined by masterful musicianship and a rich catalog of songs that have influenced generations of artists.
Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence of that fact, consider that 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.
Ricky Skaggs is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and is a 15-time GRAMMY winner!
