AmericanaFest 2023: “If the United States can be called a body, then Kentucky can be called its heart.” — Jesse Stuart, writer (It was great to get outside into the sunshine Saturday afternoon for the annual Commonwealth of Kentucky Party at the Basement. This year’s AmericanaFest event featured live music (all Kentuckians), a variety of Louisville-style bourbon drinks, and all the Kentucky fried chicken you could eat. I enjoyed sipping on a “Bourbon Classic” while watching a performance by outstanding Nashville mainstay Leah Blevins. She’s the blonde Bluegrass girl in the short skirt. The rousing Boa Boys kicked things off with good, old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll. Other performers to take the stage were Brit Taylor, Jeremy Pinnell, Laid Back Country Picker, Nine Pound Hammer, and The Jesephines. Souvenirs/giveaways included drumstick key chains, guitar picks, hand fans, and plastic drinking cups with the boastful words, “Kentucky Kicks Ass.” Kentucky clobbered Vanderbilt, 45 to 28, so that was definitely true on Saturday. This former Alabama boy was quite impressed.) #ChuckWhiting #ChucksDiary #JesseStuart #Kentucky #KentuckyParty #TheBasement #FriedChicken #Bourbon #BoaBoys #CommonwealthofKentuckyParty #AmericanaFest #Americana #Music #LiveMusic #LeahBlevins #BritTaylor #Art #Arts #MusicCityArts 9-24-23
