Bulls, Bands & Barrels Invade The Kentucky Horse Park With An Amazing Soundtrack
Here in Kentucky, horses are royalty. Which is why the Kentucky Horse Park even exists in the first place. A few years ago, the Alltech Arena was built at the Horse Park when Lexington was chosen to host the World Equestrian Games. Since then, in my humble opinion, it’s the least utilized venue in our area and that’s truly a shame. So when I read about the premise behind Bulls, Bands and Barrels, I knew that this event was the PERFECT event to utilize this world-class facility. The idea behind Bulls, Bands and Barrels is pretty self-explanatory, but for reference, the event has competitions for bull riding, barrel racing with…

Capture Kentucky Announces A Music Showcase Featuring Three Rising Stars From Kentucky
Music is an integral part of what we do here at Capture Kentucky. On a personal level, I’ve been involved in music for the last 18 years. I’ve managed a few bands. I’ve designed lots of posters.

A Homecoming Launch Party. Jimmy Yeary, Tyler Booth, Shefton Kash and Rachel Messer
Here at Capture Kentucky, I’ve said many times that it is always a great time when an artist returns to their hometown or state to play a show.

To answer those questions, let’s set the scene a bit. Wolfe County, which nestles the tiny town of Campton, is home to an established artist and songwriter in Jimmy Yeary. Jimmy has written or co-written many popular songs and even a few number…
