They’re Dueling Banjoes At The Earl Scruggs Center!

February 19, 2020

(From The 02/08/2020 Show) When Don heads west to go fishing in the mountains, he heads through Shelby, NC, which is not just famous for Bridges BBQ, but also for the gem that it contains in the way of the Earl Scruggs Center. The Outdoor Guys invite on Mary Beth Martin, Executive Director of the Center to discuss who Scruggs was and how he influenced country music using the banjo techniques he pioneered, as well as some upcoming exhibits and exciting events coming up soon (such as the Earl Scruggs Music Festival in September 2020!). Listen in for some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories and then head on over to Shelby…for some music and that good ol’ BBQ!
