<p>Written by <b>Gordon Kennedy</b> and<b> Ben Cooper</b>, “Say A Prayer” combines country, bluegrass and rock influences with instrumentation that includes sitar, fiddle, mandolin and banjo. The song was written in response to the challenges facing communities around the world and centers on themes of faith, reflection and unity.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m incredibly excited to share my new single, ‘Say A Prayer,'&#8221; says Skaggs. &#8220;The song addresses a world carrying a lot of grief right now, serving as a universal call for everyone to stop and lean into faith. It’s got a chorus that resonates with faith, country and rock audiences alike.”</p>
<p>The release comes as Skaggs continues a busy touring schedule. In addition to his regular tour dates, Skaggs and his band <b>Kentucky Thunder</b> will join <b>Dierks Bentley</b> on select dates of Bentley’s <b>Off The Map Summer Tour</b>, beginning <b>June 12</b>. Skaggs will also return to <b>Nashville</b>’s historic <b>Ryman Auditorium</b> to close out the <b>Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman</b> series on<b> </b><b>July 21</b>.</p>
<p>Fresh off one of <b>CMA Fest</b>’s most talked-about collaborations, Skaggs made a memorable appearance during <b>Carly Pearce</b>’s <b>Nissan Stadium</b> set this past Saturday night in Nashville, joining her alongside Grammy-winning bluegrass star <b>Molly Tuttle</b> for a special performance of “From Now On.” Introduced by Pearce as a tribute to her Kentucky bluegrass roots, the collaboration brought together three of the genre’s most respected artists for one of the evening’s standout moments. The performance drew an enthusiastic response from the packed stadium crowd and underscored Skaggs’ enduring influence on both traditional bluegrass and today’s generation of country artists.</p>
<p>Upon its release, “Say A Prayer” will be available on all streaming and digital download platforms.</p>
<p><b>About Ricky Skaggs</b><br />
Earning 12 #1 hit singles, 15 GRAMMY® Awards, 13 IBMA Awards, nine ACM Awards, eight CMA Awards (including Entertainer of the Year), two Dove Awards, the ASCAP Founders Award, three honorary Doctorate degrees, inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame, IBMA Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, National Fiddler Hall of Fame, Musicians Hall of Fame, and GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the 2013 Artist-In-Residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award in the Instrumentalist category along with countless other awards, Ricky Skaggs is truly a pioneer of Bluegrass and Country music. Since he began playing music over 60 years ago, Skaggs has released more than 30 albums and has performed thousands of live shows. He started his own record label, Skaggs Family Records, in 1997 and has since released 12 consecutive GRAMMY®-nominated albums.
