SUMMARY:The Lone Bellow | 2026 Tour
DESCRIPTION:With their upcoming sixth studio album\, “What A Time To Be Alive”\, The Lone Bellow embarks on a bold new chapter while honoring the deep bonds that have defined their journey. Written collaboratively for the first time with their full touring band—founding members Zach Williams\, Brian Elmquist\, and Kanene Pipkin joined by drummer Julian Dorio and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Geertsma—the album channels the raw\, ecstatic energy of the band’s live show into a dynamic collection of songs that pulse with warmth\, honesty\, and human connection. \nRecorded live in Muscle Shoals\, AL\, after a writing retreat in a converted Kentucky firehouse\, the album is both a celebration and a reckoning: of friendship\, loss\, love\, and resilience. From the gritty\, Stones-tinged opener “After The Rain” to the soul-stirring closer “What A Time To Be Alive\,” the record captures the joy and vulnerability that have long defined The Lone Bellow’s sound—lush harmonies\, heartfelt lyrics\, and genre-blurring arrangements steeped in folk\, rock\, and gospel. \nThe album’s creation was marked by setbacks\, including the theft of early recordings\, but the outpouring of support from their fanbase reaffirmed what the band has always known: their music is a shared experience. That spirit echoes throughout the album\, whether in anthems like “Common Folk” and “I’m Here For You\,” or in intimate reflections like “You Were Leaving” and “Night Goes Black.” \nSince their acclaimed 2013 debut\, The Lone Bellow has appeared on The Tonight Show\, Austin City Limits\, and The Late Show\, topped Americana charts\, and headlined storied venues from Carnegie Hall to the Ryman Auditorium. But with their next album\, they reaffirm their commitment not just to making music\, but to building community—on stage\, in song\, and around the table. \n***description from website

SUMMARY:Underground Whiskey Tasting - featuring George Dickel Distillery
DESCRIPTION:A tasting with Nicole Austin in the underground Mega Cavern! \nBorn 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. \nDickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest\, most mellow spirits in the region. Thus\, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County\, George Dickel bought a large share. \n\nOur presenter will be General Manager and Distiller\, Nicole Austin. \nNicole earned a degree in chemical engineering\, then began her career in environmental engineering. One night\, a bartender poured her a whiskey & started talking about how it was made. She listened to the bartender talk about whiskey for the rest of the night. This led to her career in the distilling business. \nSince joining the Cascade Hollow team in 2018\, she’s been instrumental in the latest innovations – including George Dickel Bottled in Bond Distilling\, Dickel Bourbon\, the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Rye Blend and Cascade Moon Whisky series. \nIf you ask Nicole what’s one thing she wants people to know about Tennessee whiskey\, she’ll say “It’s bourbon!” \n\nOur event will take place in an old limestone mine\, known as the Mega Cavern. \nA few interesting facts: \n\nThe cavern was mined from the 1930’s to the early 1970’s.\nThe mine extends below the Louisville Zoo\, and also goes under all 10 lanes of the Watterson Expressway (I-264).\nThe temperature in the Mega Cavern is 58 degrees year round.\n\nOf course we’ll have tasty food and awesome door prizes\, as always. \nThe Bourbon Brotherhood is a monthly gathering of men who enjoy bourbon and camaraderie. You must be 21+ to attend this event. Please drink responsibly.

SUMMARY:AudaTours Louisville Audio Tour: Whiskey\, Wonders\, and Timeless Towers
DESCRIPTION:Louisville’s story is carved in bat-swing echoes and whispered through cathedral stained glass. Beneath its vibrant streets\, legends of secret rivalries\, unsolved mysteries\, and bold ambition wait to be unearthed. \nSet your pace on this self-guided audio tour and uncover the city’s hidden side. Each step leads to tales most visitors never hear\, from the swing of baseball history at the Louisville Slugger Museum to the silent prayers and political intrigue woven into the Cathedral of the Assumption. \nWhat forced a congregation to stand defiant as riots threatened their sanctuary? Which bat carved in the last century may be linked to a sporting scandal still whispered about today? Why do some believe a single painting inside the Frazier History Museum holds the key to a decades-old feud? \nMove through Louisville’s pulse where heroes rose\, mysteries linger\, and every street reveals another untold chapter. \nPress play and let Louisville’s secrets find you. \nMORE INFO

SUMMARY:"Give it a Whirl" pottery class
DESCRIPTION:Get your hands muddy and dive into the magic of the pottery wheel! In this 1.5-hour lesson\, you’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing and make your very own piece—a cup\, a bowl\, or some other funky little thing (you never know what it’ll become\, and that’s part of the fun!). \nNo experience? No worries. These classes are super small\, so you’ll get plenty of one-on-one guidance and wheel time. Come solo or bring a couple of pals for a muddy good time. You’ll walk away with clay-covered hands\, good vibes\, and one piece you get to keep and cherish forever. \nAll materials included. Suggest bringing a towel or apron but all clay washes out of clothing! \n\nWe’ll kick things off with a fun\, step-by-step demo where your instructor shows you how to turn a lump of clay into something fabulous—think bowls\, cups\, or whatever shape your squishy heart desires. \nThen it’s your turn to hop on the wheel and get your hands dirty. We’ll guide you through the whole process while you play\, explore\, and maybe even surprise yourself. \nAt the end of class\, you’ll pick one favorite piece to keep—your new wobbly treasure! We’ll glaze and fire it for you. \nFeeling extra proud? You can keep additional pieces for $15 each. \n\nWhat’s included:  \n• Clay\, tools\, and aprons \n• Step-by-step instruction \n• Glazing + firing of one piece \n• Good vibes\, cool tunes\, and a guaranteed mess \n\nClass time: About 90 minutes \nExperience needed: Zero \nPickup: Your finished piece will be ready in 2–4 weeks. \nCome solo\, bring your bestie\, or book a wheel for date night

SUMMARY:"Stuntboy\, In the Meantime" show
DESCRIPTION:Stuntboy\, In the Meantime follows the middle-schooler\, Portico Reeves whose superpower is making sure his parents and best friend\, Zola stays safe. \nHe lives in the biggest apartment building on the block\, a building with fifty doors\, all of which would be swell except for the secret that Portico’s parents are about to divorce. \nAll this stress gives Portico “the frets”\, which his mom calls anxiety. Plus\, like all superheroes\, Portico has an arch-nemesis\, Herbert determined to prove that there is nothing super about Portico at all. Stuntboy\, In the Meantime is based on Jason Reynolds and Raúl the Third’s award-winning graphic novel of the same name. \n***description from website
