The Places Kentucky’s music and its musicians present a veritable siren song to both the purist and the seeker, the pupil and the professional. The state’s music history is housed in places like Owensboro’s Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum celebrating that genre’s rich story, while the U.S. 23 Country Music Highway Museum in Paintsville chronicles the icons of another genre. Renfro Valley’s Kentucky Music Hall of Fame gives a stately nod to successful Kentuckians from all walks of the music industry. If you’re looking to sit back in a behind-the-scenes venue where the locals go to hear emerging talent – or maybe spend a few days catching some of the hottest acts in the country headline a not-to-be-missed music festival – Kentucky shines on stage. We invite you to pull up a chair in an off-the-beaten-path venue where artists like Tyler Childers performed before he was playing sold-out shows. Where emerging artists like Sean Whiting of Paintsville or Fallsburg’s Laid Back Country Picker might strum a song or two. Places that deliver a music experience that exudes both local authenticity and talent. Bluegrass music Master Musicians Festival 16 1-800-225-8747
