Topic: Bourbon & Beyond

After two years of this festival not happening, Bourbon & Beyond is returning to Louisville, KY in 2022! Fest has been expanded to four days (Sept. 15-19, 2022). Lineups in past years have been awesome so I'm anxious to see what this year has in store. Nothing released yet but we bought tix anyway cuz it's always a fun time.

Joe performed at this festival's inaugural weekend in 2017 and it was great to see him in an outdoor setting. It was on my bucket list! Been to all the B&Bs that have taken place and have seen so many great acts. Glad to have something to look forward to.

Re: Bourbon & Beyond

Out of curiosity I went looking for it just now and it is still not shown. It still says "Lineup coming soon". There is no way I could go, legs and feet would never tolerate that much walking but I still want to see who all will be there

Re: Bourbon & Beyond

that is a great looking lineup. The don't misses for me would be Eric Gales (of course), Mike Campbell, Marcus King, and whatever you do don't miss St Paul and the Broken Bones. They are from right here in Birmingham AL, and they put on a tremendous show

I guess better late than never, but I checked out Tres' mention of St. Paul and the Broken Bones.
Picked up their first album, Half the City, and like it a lot.  They remind  me of those blues/soul bands I used to see on Beale Street.  I highly suggest checking them out and thanks again Tres for the shout.

Thanks for the tip on St. Paul and the Broken Bones! I will look forward to seeing them!

Re: Bourbon & Beyond

This year's Bourbon & Beyond lineup was revealed last week. For me, it's almost a total bust. I've been waiting for The Black Keys and The Black Crowes to play this festival so Saturday is a win, and because we'll be there, we decided to attend Sunday as well.

This festival has moved away from what it started as in 2017. Really disappointed with what it has morphed into. I suspect next year we won't be attending at all. sad

You're right, that's more of a Pop festival targeting a younger crowd.  I too would love to see the Black Crowes and definitely Billy Strings.  Buddy Guy is the only true blues guy I saw on your list.

Re: Bourbon & Beyond

Wow, that's certainly a mixed bill of music on offer.

I always find with festivals, the best ones, regardless of genre, should be an even mix of: -
a) love this band
b) been wanting to catch these for ages
c) didn't know they were still going....
d) never heard of, but I'll give a chance
e) time to hit the bathroom / concessions...

That said, looking at that lot, I'd be pushed to make one full day that would hold me but noticed a few "nuggets", Gaslight Anthem, Paolo Nutini, Fantastic Negrito....

Still, if you're heading along 9however many days), enjoy the vibes...
