A Skaggs Family Christmas will bring the holiday spirit to Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Thursday, December 22 at 7 pm. Members of the Skaggs and White families will combine for an ensemble performance of bluegrass-inspired holiday favorites and originals backed by Jim Gray and the Nashville Session Players.

The 15-member group will feature Skaggs, his wife Sharon, their children Luke and Molly, Buck and Cheryl White with Cheryl’s daughter Rachel, plus Kentucky Thunder and guests. This is the ninth year for A Skaggs Family Christmas to tour during the holiday season, and this year’s itinerary includes Brooks Center for the Performing Arts, The Paramount Theater, Music Center at Strathmore, Tennessee Theatre, Honeywell Center, Niswonger Performing Arts Center of NW Ohio, Smokey Mountain Performing Arts Center and wraps with the Nashville performance at the Schermerhorn.

“We started singing these songs in our living room ages ago,” explains Sharon. “We had no idea that we would ever take this show to so many different places.”

Additionally, Ricky Skaggs and the Whites will sign autographs at the Country Music Hall of Fame store this Saturday, Nov. 26 at 2 pm as part of the museum’s “Deck The Hall” program.
