Master Musicians Festival
Two day Event!
We're excited to be a sponsor of the Master Musicians Festival and would love to see you all there!
Event Details:
The Master Musicians Festival endeavors each year to bring a wide variety of multi-cultural, multi-generational and multi-racial music to our eclectic stage – from the blues to bluegrass, from celtic to Haitian roots, from rock ‘n’ roll to jazz to progressive newgrass to country to Americana and everything in between – for the best ticket price around.
The Master Musicians Festival is led by a non-profit, all-volunteer board of directors made up of artist, educators, business leaders, and other community-minded citizens dedicated to bringing musical excellence to rural Kentucky.
At the top of the lineup: Jamey Johnson, Award-winning singer/songwriter Jamey Johnson has served as country music’s north star for nearly two decades, inspiring a generation of artists with his unforgettable albums that have built a bridge connecting traditional country with the music of today.
The 10-time GRAMMY nominee has been called “one of the greatest country singers of our time,” by The Washington Post. As rock legend Don Henley says, Johnson is “the nearest thing” we have to late country icon George Jones. His music has garnered international acclaim and is embraced by fans of classic and contemporary country, as well as Americana and mainstream rock.
The Grand Ole Opry member is also widely regarded as one of the greatest country songwriters of his generation. He is one of only two people in the history of country music (along with Kris Kristofferson) to win two Song of the Year awards in the same year–for “Give It Away” and “In Color”–from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.
A consummate storyteller, his songs have been recorded by George Strait, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson, James Otto, Joe Nichols and others. He is “a first-rate preservationist of classic country songwriting…,” says The New York Times.
The Alabama native’s recent prime-time television performances have been widely recognized as the best of the shows, from singing “Georgia on My Mind” in the 2023 CBS special Willie Nelson’s 90th Birthday Celebration and “Angels Among Us” for the 2024 CMT Giants: Alabama to performing “Beer for My Horses” in August with Lainey Wilson for the top-rated NBC special Toby Keith: American Icon and debuting his powerful song, “21 Guns,” during PBS’ National Memorial Day Concert earlier this year.
Jamey Jonhson joins 14 acts across the stages at this two-day festival, which will kick off Thursday, July 11th
Filling out the rest of MMF’s lineup for its 32nd year: The Kentucky Headhunters, The Jins, Buffalo Wabs and the Price Hill Hustle, Hunter Flynn, Code Lee Meece, Kindred Valley, The Creekers, KELS, Emily Jamerson, Girl SCruggs, Hollerhead, Paint Creek, Jaden Trammell, Logan Smith, & Todd Clayton
