Forecastle has become another summertime tradition since our move three years ago. It has been amazing to see and hear how this festival has developed from its humble beginnings just down the road from our house in Tyler Park to this national event down on the stunning Waterfront. So looking at our full schedule, we’ve … More SPECIAL FORECASTLE PREVIEW!
Dang Louisville weather has been pretty crummy. Luckily, the rain held off long enough so that we could enjoy a summer sunset concert out on Foxhollow Farm. One of the lovely things about this series is the fact that it is out 30 minutes from the city on a legit farm. The change of pace … More A trip to the farm and true America
The city usually has a pretty good turnout for events at Waterfront Park, especially when they involve fireworks – Thunder, 4th of July, Bats Friday Night Fireworks. You get the picture. In his interview with Leo Weekly, Teddy Abrams said, “Of course, the fireworks are going to be spectacular – Louisville does fireworks better than … More #LOWF4TH was a giant success
Saturday of ROMP was the band’s first and only day at the festival, but they seemed to be having a good time already when I had the chance to chat with them in the afternoon. Hailing from San Francisco, The Brothers Comatose started out with brothers Ben and Alex Morrison having some fun in their … More An afternoon chat with The Brothers Comatose at ROMP
ROMP‘s final day brought with it a welcome respite from all of the crummy weather. The Kentucky Bluegrass AllStars kicked off the morning lineup. It’s always amazing to see how talented these kids are and how excited they are to play in front of the ROMP crowd. There had been a lot of hype for gifted … More We all ROMPed the night away for the finale
This year was definitely the rainiest of any ROMP I’ve been too – I’m not envious of the upkeep it’s going to take to get the park back to its normal condition. We spent most of the day huddled under our almost-blowing-away canopies, but it made for an afternoon full of card games, bourbon and … More Big names for Friday at ROMP
ROMP has become our yearly tradition, something I very much look forward to. The smallness of the festival (in comparison with lots of other festivals) is attractive. The fact that there is only one main stage, combined with the fact that I can camp right nearby, is fantastic because I can hear the music even from … More A little rain, a lot of greatness: The start of ROMP 2015
Due to some technical difficulties, our Do502 weekly preview is being featured on our blog this week! We’ve never been to a Waterfront event that we didn’t like. Forecastle, Waterfront Wednesdays, The Belle’s 100th, KDF shows, Thunder. This year’s reinstated July 4th celebration will fit perfectly in that category. Thanks largely in part to Thorntons … More The Live Music Lou Weekly Preview: It’s the Louisville Orchestra Waterfront 4th!
We’ve been out and about since school ended, road-tripping across the country out west and then back again. What better way to be welcomed back home than to attend one of this city’s favorite extracurriculars? Not only that, but the lineup was a perfect warm up for the upcoming ROMP weekend. Banjo masters Béla Fleck & … More The best of the best for June’s Waterfront Wednesday
Sorry this is late, the end of the school year and this upcoming road trip made writing a little slow. That being said, this show was not one we could just not post about. Hurray for the Riff Raff is a socially aware band that is not afraid to create music in support of issues … More Covering the substantial
