Ricky Skaggs has announced his 2024 holiday tour “Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder Christmas,” which will kick off Dec. 5 in Tucson.
Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder will hit the tour trail this December with 13 Christmas concerts across the nation in Louisville, Knoxville, Scottsdale and more, wrapping with a Ryman Auditorium show on Dec. 22. Concertgoers can expect to hear the bluegrass tune “Christmas Time’s A Comin,’” along with a rendition of “New Star Shining,” a hit for Skaggs and James Taylor. Beloved classic songs “Silent Night,” “Deck the Halls” and “Let it Snow” are also part of the show, along with other special Christmas melodies and seasonal sing-a-longs.
“This is my favorite time of the year,” explains Skaggs. “Not only do we celebrate the birth of the Savior, we also get to play some really fun music. I hope you will come out and see one of our Kentucky Thunder Christmas shows. It’s a joyful time. You’ll love it.”
