Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder (3 Pm) at Sellersville Theater 1894

Fifteen-time GRAMMY® winner Ricky Skaggs stands as one of the most influential artists in modern country music, a musician so impactful that Chet Atkins once said he “single-handedly saved country music.” A prodigy from Cordell, Kentucky, Skaggs played with Bill Monroe at age 6, appeared on TV with Flatt & Scruggs at 7, and launched his professional bluegrass career in 1971 with Ralph Stanley’s Clinch Mountain Boys.
