So excited to be playing the Earl Scruggs Music Festival in Mill Springs, NC, tomorrow…so here’s some “Foggy Mountain Special” to celebrate! Earl’s playing is really what inspired me to start playing (in particular his guitar playing on the Flatt and Scruggs album “Songs of the Famous Carter Family”) and getting to pick with Earl was one of the highlights of my career. He was one of the best people and of course the most influential bluegrass musician ever. It all changed because of Earl…and I’m

Earl Eugene Scruggs is synonymous with the word banjo. Without Earl’s three fingers blazing, I firmly believe that Bluegrass Music would not be what is then or now for a matter of fact. On this day January 6, 1924, 102 years ago a true genius was born. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr. Scruggs #happyheavenlybirthday #earlscruggs #fyp #thisdayinhistory #banjo

In honor of Earl Scruggs' 102nd birthday, watch Adam Lee Marcus perform the iconic song "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," written by the legendary Scruggs and first recorded by his group Flatt & Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys in 1949. It gained popularity again when it was used in the 1967 movie Bonnie & Clyde, and it won the duo a Grammy for Best Country Performance in 1969. 30 years later, the original recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Scruggs won another Grammy for the song
