First of all, tune in to WFPK 91.9 in the 8:00 am. hour to hear Kentucky Homefront creator and host John Gage with Duke Meyer talking about our annual fundraiser and spinning a few tunes from the all-star line-up! I’ve been a Kentucky Homefront volunteer since 2001 and love every moment of the live audience recordings. from the Kentucky Theatre on 4th Street to the Clifton Center, that we’ve shared with artists and fans.
This Sunday, Jan. 29, upstairs at River Bend Winery (120 S. 10th Street, between Main and Market, closest to Market), we ask you to join us from 4-8PM for the 11th Anniversary Fundraiser for the Kentucky Homefront Radio Show.
A $10.00 donation is suggested. As you may or may not know, Kentucky Homefront is a show featuring Kentucky’s finest acoustic folk, traditional, blues, country, and bluegrass musicians, and its
best storytellers.
The “front porch” broadcasts, that air each Wednesday on WFPK at 8PM, are reminiscent of radio variety programs of a bygone era. Hosted by the talented and inimitable singer/songwriter John Gage, Kentucky Homefront is recorded on the 2nd Saturday of every month (except January and July). The show is recorded before a live audience at the Clifton Centerin the Clifton Neighborhood, in the heart of the vibrant Frankfort Avenue neighborhood, in Louisville, KY.
You can expect a rollickin’ good time as River Bend will provide a limited menu, a full bar and is donating 15% of their proceeds to Kentucky Homefront! Also, a new guitar will be raffled off and there will be three 50/50 raffles. There will also be a “Keep the Front Porch Light Burning Bright” booth where you can buy season tickets at a discounted price.
Here is the entertainment schedule:
4:00PM Songwriters in the Round with John Gage, Turley Richards and Mickey Clark
5:00 PM Hog Operation
7:00PM The Juggernaut Jug Band
Please join us for a great night! Bring a friend…or two. |
