Louisville’s Bats Are The Perfect Family Experience!
Baseball is back!! That’s a very exciting sentence to type and one that I can’t put enough emphasis on. I’ve been a baseball fan my entire life and with the addition of the pitch clock, the banning of the shift, and the bigger bases, Baseball is more exciting than it has ever been. Game times have decreased by around 30 minutes on average, stolen bases are up, the action has been magnified and even the oldest of old-school purists of the game have taken notice of the effectiveness of the new rules. What’s not to love?! Everybody wins!

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…

Steve Earle Brought His Dukes To The Mountain Arts Center In Prestonsburg!
Article by James Stamper / Photos by Thomas R. Biggs Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Guitar Town himself, Steve Earle, made his presence known at the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg, KY! I was ecstatic to see Steve Earle and The Dukes perform so close to home!
