Hampton -- — Williamsburg's own Grammy-winning musician Bruce Hornsby will team up with his bluegrass picking pal Ricky Skaggs at this year's Bay Days celebration in downtown Hampton, an organizer for the festival said at Wednesday night's Hampton City Council Meeting.

Shelly Ezanno, executive director of Bay Days, broke the news at the meeting.

Last year, Hornsby and Skaggs released an album on which the two star musicians collaborated on new and old bluegrass-style tunes.

Hornsby has since been joining Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder for dates across the nation.

In May, they performed as part of the celebration of Jamestown's 400th anniversary.

This year's Bay Days festival will take place Sept. 5-7.
