Plan a visit to the Earl Scruggs Center, located in uptown Shelby, NC, to explore Mr. Scruggs’ innovative career and the community that gave it shape. The Center provides educational opportunities to learn more about the life story of legendary five-string banjo master and Cleveland County native, who began the three-finger banjo playing style that has come to be known around the world as “Scruggs Style.”
Mr. Scruggs made incredible contributions to solidify his place as an American icon and musical legend before he passed away on March 28, 2012. His music continues to inspire and the Scruggs-style sound can be heard in many genres of modern music.
