Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder to appear at The Coyote Store Aug. 19 GAIL—One of the legends of Bluegrass, Ricky Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder will appear at The Coyote Store Saturday, Aug. 19.
Skaggs, a 15-time Grammy Award winner, a Country Music Hall of Fame member and a Bluegrass Hall of Fame member, struck his first cords on the mandolin when he was nine years-old and by the time he was 21 was considered“a recognized master” of the art form. He counts the current configuration of Kentucky Thunder among the best group of musicians he has ever worked with.
“This group of guys meets my approval every night,” Skaggs says.“Each and every one of the pickers in Kentucky Thunder totally amazes me in every show…and that, to me, outweighs any award we could ever win.” The all-star lineup of Kentucky Thunder includes Russ Carson (banjo), Jake Workman (lead guitar), Dennis Parker (baritone vocals, guitar), Gavin Kelso (bass), Mike Rogers (tenor vocals, rhythm guitar) and Billy Contreras (fiddle). Ticket prices are: General admission $30, Reserved tickets $50, Reserved table of 8: $400, Reserved table of 10: $500.
