Ken Scoggins & Miller Creek on The Pickin' Porch Show

Every Thursday night the Pickin' Porch stage in Bristol, Virginia comes alive with the sweet sounds of the Appalachians. Whether it's Bluegrass Music, Celtic, Old-Time, Classic Country or Americana, you can rest assured that whoever takes the stage on a given night will deliver a performance that will knock your socks off! Last night's entertainment was provided by Ken Scoggins & Miller Creek, a fine Bluegrass group from South Carolina. Brothers Ken and Bill Scoggins played guitar and bass respectively while Doug Rankin demonstrated his considerable skills on the mandolin. The trio took turns singing lead on a number of great tunes while offering some of the most finely-tunes harmonies you will ever hear. Along with The Pickin' Porch Show's own Tim White on banjo, these guys really put on a great show. The twin cities of Bristol, VA-TN are known the world over as the "Birthplace of Country Music", and the region is home to some of the finest pickers and singers on the planet. Many of these wonderful folks volunteer their time and talents to bring the music that began right here in these hills and hollers to life each and every week on the Pickin' Porch stage, but fine groups like Ken Scoggins & Miller Creek travel from afar to help do their part as well - and we greatly appreciate it!   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
