Ricky Skaggs has often said that he is "just trying to make a living" playing the music he loves. But it's clear that his passion for bluegrass puts him in the position to bring this lively, distinctively American form of music out of isolation and into the ears and hearts of audiences across the country and around the world. This has rarely been done in the half-century since Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys first gave shape to bluegrass. Blessed with a close-knit family, an abundance of talent, a lifetime of musical experience and a crack band behind him, Ricky Skaggs is well on the way to showing the world that "country rocks, but bluegrass rules!"

Ricky received his 11th career Grammy Award February 8 for his contribution to Songs From the Neighborhood: The Music of Mister Rogers.

Busy Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder will begin a much anticipated tour, kicking off this month.
