BROWNFIELD, Maine — Fresh off a star turn on Ken Burns' standout "Country Music" documentary series on PBS, Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Skaggs is bringing his six-piece Kentucky Thunder Band to the Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownfield, Maine, for a sold-out Nov. 14 show.

A native of Kentucky and recognized master of the bluegrass mandolin (along with guitar, fiddle and banjo) since he was a child, Skaggs grew up playing on stage with such bluegrass luminaries as Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and Ralph Stanley.
