Here's a sneak peek at my first story in print for @cowboysindians.bsky.social that I wrote about 10 modern day outlaws in country music. Read it in the magazine's upcoming February/March "American Outlaws" issue.

Who’s the next big name in Kentucky music? Here are 5 to watch in 2025

A couple of my New Years resolutions are to write more on my Substack and to be more consistent in posting here, so here we go... ...I rambled about John Prine, 90's country, and the Kentucky music scene after attending two epic tribute shows last week

John Prine, 90's Country, and Adios to 2024!

I put a bow on 2024 by highlighting two holiday concerts that are quickly becoming Central Kentucky traditions
