Alyssa Skinner At The Pickin' Porch

As today's picture illustrates, the growing popularity of Bluegrass Music transcends generational boundaries. Visit most any venue where Bluegrass is performed and you just might see musicians from age 5 to 105 up on the stage. The pretty little girl shown above is 7 year old Alyssa Skinner, photographed while giving a flawless performance on her Dobro at last Thursday's Pickin' Porch show. She often joins in with mom, dad and older brother Zane (age 10) who perform as The Skinner Family. Bluegrass music is fast becoming a family tradition in our region because loving parents like Jason and Jennifer Skinner are passing their own love of Bluegrass down to their kids...and there is no better family tradition than pickin' and singin' Bluegrass music together!
