Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder take to the stage
Now celebrating over 50 years since forming in 1966, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band have existed in various incarnations; from their early days as a large ensemble to the critically acclaimed folk and country rock group that they are today. Despite their heyday existing in the late Eighties where they charted three number one singles, their popularity has seen a resurgence with their continuing dedication to touring and recording new material.
One of the all-time greatest American musical figures is brought back to life in The Man In Black - A Tribute To Johnny Cash. In this incredible show Shawn Barker performs a faithful and stunning version of the legendary singer, with the same baritone voice, an uncanny resemblance and perfectly recreated mannerisms.
Country and bluegrass musician Ricky Skaggs is a singer as well as master of instruments including the mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandocaster and banjo. The Kentucky born musician started his lifelong relationship with music at the young age of five, since then he has made a name for himself as one of the best country musicians out there and has been inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Even after over 50 years as a major recording artist, Grammy award-winner Judy Collin's wonderful voice still shines brightly through her stunning back catalog. An important part of the 1960s folk revival, Collins began her career channeling Dylan, Pete Seeger, The Beatles, and many more artists, lending her melodic voice to other's compositions, whilst going on to pen her own tracks to great acclaim. She has always had an eclectic taste, having explored a range of sounds, from Pop, Rock, and Roll to Broadway classics, such as the celebrated 'Send in the Clowns'. An evening in the company of enigmatic Judy Collins promises to inspire and thrill in equal measures.
