Skaggs, a Grand Ole Opry member, has released his first autobiography, "Kentucky Traveler: My Life in Music." Skaggs was born on July 18, 1954 in Cordell, Ky. and showed signs of future stardom at an early age, playing mandolin on stage with bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe at 6 and appearing on TV with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs at 7. He emerged as a professional bluegrass musician in 1971, when he and his friend Keith Whitley were invited to join the legendary Ralph Stanley's band, the Clinch Mountain Boys. He became a recording artist in his own right in 1981 when his Epic label debut album "Waitin' for the Sun to Shine" topped the country charts and yielded a pair of number 1 hits. Overall, his productive stay at Epic Records would result in a total of 12 number 1 hits. For tickets and information, call the Office of Development at Campbellsville University at (270) 789-5211.
