The Bibelhauser Brothers

In addition to writing songs recorded by award winning bluegrass artists including Del McCoury, Balsam Range, Michael Cleveland, & Dale Ann Bradley, Aaron Bibelhauser is an accomplished session musician on half a dozen instruments, producer and recording engineer for other regional artists, and long time host of the weekly radio broadcast “Bluegrass Evolution” on 91.9 WFPK in Kentucky. Listen here!

Them Lasses and Old Dogs

Them Lasses, a trio of young women whose voices blend in perfect harmony. These girls are casting their lassos and catching attention across Kentucky stages.  Kicking up the dust with old-time tunes carried on a fresh breeze and creating their own original songs, they are reinvigorating music with a style long lost and sorely missed. They are joined by the Old Dogs. Listen here!

The event is open to the public, family friendly, and free. Local vendors and food trucks will be on hand with a variety of food options. People are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the show at Highview Park. Sponsored by local councilmembers.
