You know that saying, "There must be something in the water?" I have a feeling it might be true here in Western Kentucky and the Owensboro area. Over the past year, it has been amazing to watch local acts really "make it" in the music industry.

Ole 60 Earns Platinum Record

Colt Graves, Sons of Habit, and Ole 60 have been living the dream, writing songs and playing shows across the country. Ole 60 even traveled Down Under for a country music festival in March. After celebrating their recent milestone of reaching platinum status with their debut hit smoke & a light, they will cross the pond to England this summer.

Sons of Habit on the Rise

Sons of Habit is hitting the road with two of the biggest names in country music, Scotty McCreery and Dustin Lynch. You can find dates and ticket information for the Two for the Road 2025 tour here.

Trifecta From the Tri-State at REDWEST Music Fest

While reading country music news yesterday, I came across the lineup for a festival in Salt Lake City, Utah, called REDWEST.

As I read through the names, my eye immediately caught the bigger font names, of course. Then I scanned over the smaller font and found an AWESOME surprise. Not one, not two, BUT THREE of our very own taking the same stage as THE Post Malone! Y'all! This is HUGE!

Epic Road Trip to Utah

SO, I know it's allllll the way out in Utah, but these guys did us a favor by somehow all ending up on the same day. That way, all you have to do is buy a single-day ticket and save your money for the epic road trip to get there.
