Come September 2019, the south will rise again with the first-ever Country Music & Bourbon Festival coming to the state of Kentucky.
Hometown Rising combines two of Louisville’s cultural cornerstones–great music and incredible bourbon. The festival is the newest addition to Louisville’s fall festival series from premier independent festival producer, Danny Wimmer Presents.
The festival provides for an incredibly diverse and engaging line-up of established artists as well as up and coming stars.
So far, the music lineup will be led by country heavyweights including Tim McGraw, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, and Keith Urban. Additionally, Brett Young, Jake Owen, Bret Michaels, and Frankie Ballard have also joined the bourbon line-up.
