Earl Scruggs

Friday, July 29, 2005 • 7:30 p.m.

Earl Scruggs is to the five-string banjo what Paganini was to the violin. After more than 20 years with the Foggy Mountain Boys, forming the most famous band in bluegrass history, Scruggs and Lester Flatt parte company on 1969, with Flatt pursuing more traditional sounds and Scruggs forming the Earl Scruggs Revue with his two signs. The Revue appealed to more to a young and urban audience, playing rock and other non-country music. Scruggs has made many albums since his parting with Flatt (including The Storyteller and the Banjoman with Tom T. Hall in 1982).
