Fifteen-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country  music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence of that fact, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’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.

In the past decade, he has been honored with inductions into the Gospel Music Association’s Gospel Music Hall of
Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame. In 2018, a landmark year, Skaggs was also awarded membership into the
National Fiddler Hall of Fame, the IBMA Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and country music’s greatest honor, the
Country Music Hall of Fame. Most recently, he was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Arts in 2020 for his
contributions to the American music industry.
