With the success of all the music festivals each summer, it’s nice to see Louisville get in on the act. It’s clear CDE has done their homework on many of the top festivals and has put together a great lineup. I attend and photograph many of the Nation’s top Festival every year. I am very pleased to know I can stay at home in July! I know many local people who are excited and are planning to attend this event. Most of these people have never considered Bonnaroo or any other festival.

With Forecastle only two weeks before Louisville becomes the music capital for the month of July! Louisville music lovers have complained for years about the lack of big music events in our area.  Now is our chance to support these great events.
