Bluegrass Nights returns to the Ryman in June: Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs lead lineup

Famed Nashville musicians Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill, Dailey and Vincent and more return to the birthplace of bluegrass this summer for the annual Bluegrass Nights concert series. 

Shows — held at the Ryman Auditorium — kick off June 18 with Del McCoury, running each Thursday through July 23, when Gill performs. The SteelDrivers and Dan Tyminski round out headlining acts. Springer Mountain Farms returns to sponsor the series. 

Th Ryman, known for hosting a musical confluence between Earl Scruggs and Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys on the Grand Ole Opry in 1945 that would later be deemed the "birthplace of bluegrass," began hosting the series in 1994. 

The pre-show "Pickin’ on the Plaza" local showcase returns this year to the venue's 4th Avenue terrace, a news release said. 

Tickets to Bluegrass Nights go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. via ryman.com/bluegrass. A season pass begins at $165 before fees; individual tickets start at $30.50.
