The Murray Kentucky State University welcomes the public for FREE
\nTuesday night for the fifth year in a row as the department of History
\nwelcomes Western Swing and Country artist Chris Scruggs and the Stone Fox 5
\nand opening act Mark Newton and Steve Thomas.<\/p>\n

Joining Chris Scruggs for his set will be Country Music Superstar Kenny Vaughn
\nwho has won many awards for his playing locally and is also
\na prominent member of the Fabulous Superlatives that back Marty Stuart.<\/p>\n

At 7:30 on Tuesday in Lovett Auditorium the free show will be taking place.
\nSince it launched in 2010 it has grown so much in popularity that it was
\nmoved to Lovett auditorium several years ago.<\/p>\n

I have met Chris Scruggs on several occasions and I have included our picture
\non here together.
\nHe is the son of Country Legend Gail Davies and songwriter Gary Scruggs and
\nis the Grandson of Bluegrass Legend Earl Scruggs but did not get to meet
\nhis grandfather until a short time before his death.<\/p>\n

I got to see him perform during a tribute show to Steel Guitar Legend Don Helms
\nat the Troubador Theater in Nashville. I remember him playing the steel guitar
\nREALLY old school style and how precise his notes were.
\nThe man knows his Traditonal Country Music for certain. He reminds me of
\nAndy Gibson who is now producing albums instead of playing steel guitar as much
\non the road. They were both mentored by MANY Country Music Legends in their style of playing.<\/p>\n

He also played for a short time with BR5-49 and recorded “Tangled In The Pines”
\nwith them replacing Gary Bennett on co-lead vocals and guitars.<\/p>\n

I dont really have many items in my home about Earl Scruggs to include in my
\nThird Generations theme I have going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
