Tuesday, JANUARY 24TH, 2023 - 7:00 PM - Burritt on the Mountain
Featured Performance: Shane Adkins
Shane was recently inducted into the 2022 National Thumbpickers Hall of Fame. He was inspired by Mose Rager, a thumbpicking pioneer who also influenced Merle Travis and Chet Atkins. He promotes thumb and fingerstyle guitar because he believes it is an American musical art form that should be preserved and shared. Shane writes historical songs that tell intriguing stories, funny songs full of laughs, and touching songs that tug at the heart strings.
In January 2002, he performed "Beans and Taters" on the Grand Ole Opry with Mike Snider. In 2003, Shane won the International "Home of the Legends" Thumbpicking Contest in Muhlenberg County, KY and in September 2005, he won the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in Winfield, KS. Shane has completed five albums. Visit Shane's website at https://shaneadkins.com/
