Bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs and the band Kentucky Thunder return to Montgomery County for a Sunday show at Dosey Doe’s Big Barn.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner will be served from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. prior to the concert which starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased on Dosey Doe’s website doseydoetickets.com.
Skaggs has played the “Big Barn” several times and he calls it a wonderful place to play.
“There’s not a bad seat in the house,” he said in a 2018 article in The Courier. “It’s so much fun to be that close to the audience.”
The 165-year-old barn that houses Dosey Doe originated in his home state. The barn was brought from Kentucky and reassembled in The Woodlands piece by piece.
Skaggs struck his first chords on a mandolin over 60 years ago, and has racked up 15 Grammy Awards, according to his bio.
In 2018, he was inducted into the National Fiddler Hall of Fame, IBMA’s Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and country music’s greatest honor, the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Skaggs was also awarded the prestigious National Medal of Arts for his contributions to the American music industry in 2020.
He counts the current configuration of Kentucky Thunder among the best group of musicians he has ever worked with.
“This group of guys meets my approval every night,” Skaggs said in his bio. “Each and every one of the pickers in Kentucky Thunder totally amazes me in every show … and that, to me, outweighs any award we could ever win.”
Dosey Doe The Big Barn is at 25911 I-45 North in The Woodlands.
