Trans-Siberian Orchestra once again put on a spectacular performance and brought the heat to Rupp Arena, in Lexington, KY.

Styx Brought All Of Their Hits To Rock The Fans At The Corbin Arena
It was the first concert of the year for the rock group Styx, where they returned to Corbin for their second appearance in Corbin. Styx entertained an audience of around 3000 people at the Corbin Arena. A real gem of a venue tucked away, just off of I-75. Styx has a vast catalog of music, and their hits have spanned across several decades, so it was no surprise that the fans were on their feet and singing along the entire night. Besides, there’s a reason this band has continued to thrive, and it was on full-display in Corbin. It’s their musicianship, closely followed by their showmanship. Styx know how to…

The young man from Wolfe County is in the midst of completing his first solo headlining tour. With a stop at Headliners Music Hall in Louisville being the focus here.

Red Clay Strays Deliver A Moment Of Truth At The Loud In Huntington With Eric Bolander
Sometimes. music throws me a curveball. It’s pretty rare these days, but occasionally an artist or band from outside our Commonwealth comes along unexpectedly, and their music rockets them into heavy rotation for me. When that happens, I feel incredibly compelled to share those artists. I make every effort to try and shine a light on them, and I’ve basically made it my job to do so. It’s a responsibility that you folks have come to expect, and I don’t take it lightly. Another but here though, sometimes though, an artist comes along and I know the best way to convey how I feel is to just let my emotions…

A Journey In Growth. Morgan Wade Was Anything But ‘Reckless’ At The Burl.
There are two types of shows that I LIVE for as a journalist and photographer. The first is a hometown show. There’s absolutely nothing like the energy of seeing folks come home to a sea of appreciation. The second, and the category that this show falls in, is when an artist that I’ve previously witnessed on a small stage returns to that same fanfare of a hometown show. It’s a thing of beauty and it’s why I knew I had to cover this show. See, back in 2019, before the dreaded c-word, I witnessed a young lady on a small stage in the front yard of one of my favorite…

Rockers 3 Doors Down brought Kentucky’s Cameron Jayne To Rock The Funk Out Of The Barnyard
Hey y’all! It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to catch a show and bring you in-depth coverage, so for my first article in months, I chose a show that features one of my favorite bands, in Black Stone Cherry, (well it would’ve been anyhow) and the fine folks in 3 Doors Down at The Barnyard in Sharpsburg, Kentucky. Unfortunately, COVID reared it’s ugly head and the fellas in Black Stone Cherry were forced to cancel several shows. Believe me when I say this, missing a show in their home state is just as heartbreaking to them, as it is to all of us. Their health is what matters…

There’s an infinite number of variables that make for a good time, but on Sunday night, we found the ultimate prescription. We took two sisters and all their beautiful harmonies, tossed in a heavy dose of the Blues, sprinkled in songs from their entire career and mixed them all together in the best cauldron Kentucky has to offer in the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg. Rebecca and Megan Lovell are a blues-oriented, Grammy-nominated duo known as Larkin Poe. Natives of Georgia, now based in Nashville, these young ladies made their way to Prestonsburg armed with an abundance of musical ammunition in reserve. Eager to travel and share their music with…
