It is that time of the year again! Time to summarize the 365 days of 2015 into a single post of the “bests” the year had to offer. When writing last year’s Best Of list, we noted how it was “crazy we’d been to more than 60 shows” in 2014…well that number was easily doubled in … More ‘BEST OF 2015’ SHOWS IN LOUISVILLE
The moral of this story is pretty simple: I love outdoor events, especially musical ones. I love frolicking around the Waterfront. I love Waterfront Wednesdays. I love WFPK and everything they do. Scott Carney is a fucking performer. I’m hyped to hear this new Wax Fang stuff in the next year. I am sad that … More Sad it is over – 2015’s final Waterfront Wednesday
The second annual Seven Sense Festival took over the 2100 block of Preston Highway for what can easily be described as a pretty dope event. With four stages going all day long, forty Louisville and regional acts had the opportunity to play for the constant crowd. Each of the stages – two traditional stages inside … More Good cause, good music, good day

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
I said goodbye to my students in the afternoon as they walked out the doors and into a soaking downpour. I think the inclement weather deterred some folks from venturing down to the Big Four Lawn for the second edition of Waterfront Wednesday in 2015. Didn’t they know that the event almost always lucks out … More The end of school = the start to a great summer of music: WW May edition
