‘Earl Scruggs’ 100th Birthday Celebration’ To Air Live Exclusively On Veeps

January 2, 2024/by Lorie Hollabaugh

A star-studded lineup of bluegrass and country artists will unite at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium to celebrate Earl Scruggs‘ 100th birthday this Saturday (Jan. 6). The special tribute concert will air live, one time only, exclusively on Veeps.

The show will feature musical direction by Jerry Douglas, with performances by The Earls of Leicester, Del McCoury Band, Gena Britt, Alison Brown, Sam Bush, Michael Cleveland, Stuart Duncan, Jimmie Fadden, Bela Fleck, Jeff Hanna, Sierra Hull, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Jim Mill, Justin Moses, Jerry Pentecost, Todd Phillips, Harry Stinson, Bryan Sutton, Tony Trischka and more.

All Access subscribers can access the show for free, otherwise individual tickets are on sale for $14.99. The concert will air live on Saturday at 8 p.m. CT. For more information, click here.

Proceeds from the event will benefit The Earl Scruggs Center, which is ​​dedicated to the preservation and celebration of Scruggs’ remarkable life and contributions to music. Scruggs was considered to be one of the most influential banjo players in the world. His duo Flatt & Scruggs provided the banjo-driven music for the theme song of the television series The Beverly Hillbillies, and the 1967 blockbuster film Bonnie and Clyde featured their 1949 recording of Scruggs’ composition “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.”

Scruggs was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1985, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 1991, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (NaSHOF) in 2007 and the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2009. The Recording Academy presented him with four Grammys and the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. Scruggs was also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003.
