Friday Nights Live offers a vibrant FREE concert series of 24 Friday nights from May 2nd through October 10th.  Enjoy performances from national touring bands every Friday night on our Courtyard Stage, completely free of charge. These events are a collaboration with Pickin Productions, and each concert supports a local non-profit organization.

Waldon’s fearlessness is among the reasons she landed at Oh Boy Records in 2019, as the independent label’s first new signee in 15 years. It’s attracted fans to her headline tours and her festival sets, and prompted artists including Tyler Childers, Charley Crockett, Robert Earl Keen, Margo Price, and Lucinda Williams to invite her on tour. It helped earn her both the title of “Kentucky Colonel” — an honor recognizing goodwill ambassadors of Kentucky’s culture and traditions — and a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s annual American Currents exhibit in 2024.
