Yes, he does look like a wild man, but Ricky Skaggs was ever the entertainer last night at the 2013 Spring Soiree, as presented by the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus! This amazing 40 piece orchestra, featured loads of violins turned fiddles, captivated the sold out crowd at the Southern Theater. Ricky Skaggs, who got his break with Emmylou Harris in the late 70s, served up a hot dish of bluegrass music with precision, humor and fun. Along with his own group, Kentucky Thunder, Skaggs and the Orchestra played classic Skaggs music from across four decades! The hilarious "You Can't Hurt Ham" along with the crowd favorite, "Soldier of the Cross," performed along side #1 hits like "Highway 40 Blues" and the bluegrass anthem, "Uncle Pen." Ricky encored with my personal favorite, "Somebody's Prayin'". Great show from one of country and bluegrass music's most beloved performers!
