That&#8217;s the story of Ricky Skaggs. By age twenty-one, he was already considered a &#8220;recognized maste<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">r&#8221; of one of America&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ricky struck his first chords on a mandolin over 50 years ago, and this 14-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.<\/p>\n<p>Ricky Skaggs has often said that he is &#8220;just trying to make a living&#8221; playing the music he loves. But it&#8217;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. Ricky Skaggs is always forging ahead with cross-cultural, genre-bending musical ideas and inspirations.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"eventWeekday\">Wed,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"eventMonth\">Jun<\/span><span class=\"eventDay\">17<\/span><\/h6>\n<p class=\"edInfoHeadliner\">Ry Cooder \u2013 Sharon White \u2013 Ricky Skaggs<\/p>\n<table class=\"edInfoItems\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"edDetail\">Doors:<\/td>\n<td class=\"edSpacer\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"edValue\">8:30 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"edDetail\">Start:<\/td>\n<td class=\"edSpacer\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"edValue\">9:30 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"edDetail\">Age:<\/td>\n<td class=\"edSpacer\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"edValue\">All ages<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"edDetail\">Price:<\/td>\n<td class=\"edSpacer\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"edValue\">$95 Advance GA \/ $100 Day of Show GA \/ $295 Reserved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h6 class=\"specialInstructions\">Ry Cooder, \u201cOne of the Greatest Guitar Players Of All Time\u201d (Rolling Stone) + Ricky Skaggs, 14 \u2013 time Grammy Winner + Sharon White, \u201cThe Most Pristine Voice in Country Music\u201d (Billboard)<\/h6>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/bellyupaspen.frontgatetickets.com\/event\/kud9tkqk4s1ql7mv\">BUY TICKETS<\/a>\u00a0OR CALL BELLY UP APSEN 970-300-1094<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-587567\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/swan.jpg\" alt=\"swan\" width=\"440\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/swan.jpg 440w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/swan-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/swan-245x357.jpg 245w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/swan-332x483.jpg 332w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-588981\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n-357x357.jpg 357w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n-483x483.jpg 483w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n-210x210.jpg 210w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10255372_10152538585642821_7314047256154069214_n.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-589850\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10307192_887481584614484_2791340416296058237_n.jpg\" alt=\"10307192_887481584614484_2791340416296058237_n\" width=\"960\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10307192_887481584614484_2791340416296058237_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10307192_887481584614484_2791340416296058237_n-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/06\/10307192_887481584614484_2791340416296058237_n-700x232.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SWANNIE SITS DOWN WITH RICKY SKAGGS\u00a0TO DISCUSS HIS UPCOMING SHOW AT BELLY UP IN ASPEN.
