Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder roll into The Grand Opera House in Wilmington Jan. 9 for a night of virtuoso pickin’. In 50 years of playing mandolin—and other instruments—Skaggs has racked up 14 Grammy Awards, with 12 straight nominations. He calls the current iteration of Kentucky Thunder one of the best groups he has ever played with. See why Skaggs has jammed with almost every legendary country and bluegrass musician of his lifetime. And if you can’t make that show, don’t miss the Jam It! bluegrass and old-time acoustic sessions on Saturdays at The Music School of Delaware. (652-5577, thegrandwilmington.org)
