It's never too early to plan for the weekend, and if we have another rainy one, this may be just the thing to chase the "blues" away. Bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs to perform in Marietta, Georgia at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre stage at 8 p.m., Saturday, April 2nd.
The banjo-picking Scruggs is an American musician noted for perfecting and popularizing a three-finger banjo picking style - now known as Scruggs style - that is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music. His playing style became popular in the Blue Grass Boys show. Scruggs built on earlier techniques to develop a readily identifiable style with a large vocabulary of unique and original licks, blues and jazz phrases, evident in backup and in solos such as "Foggy Mountain Special." One his most commercially-known works is "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" for the television show The Beverly Hillbillies. Other honors include induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor, a National Heritage Fellowship award and multiple Grammy Awards.
The Jennie T. Anderson Theatre in located at 548 South Marietta Parkway, Marietta. For more information, please call 770-528-8490.
