Earl Scruggs
Earl Eugene Scruggs is an American musician known for popularizing the three-finger banjo style, now known as the "Scruggs style", which is a defining trait in bluegrass music. Its three-finger playing style is completely different from the traditional five-string banjo. This new style of playing has grown in popularity and has transformed the banjo from its former role as a background rhythmic instrument to the status of exceptional solo. He popularized this instrument in many musical genres. Scruggs' career began at the age of 21 when he was hired to play in Bill Monroe's band, the Blue Grass Boys. The name "bluegrass" eventually became the common name for the entire genre of country music now known by this name. Despite considerable success with Monroe, performing on the Grand Ole Opry and recording classic hits like "Blue Moon of Kentucky", Scruggs resigned from the group in 1946 due to their tiring touring schedule.
