Comedy May Not Be Easy, But It Has to Be Yours

Back in the 90s, WBKR sponsored Comedy Caravan nights at the Executive Inn's Timeout Lounge. I remember they were on Wednesday nights, and when I would emcee I was charged with giving away prizes and (wait for it)...doing a little stand-up comedy for about five minutes as a warm-up for the night's performer or performers. But on the first night, I didn't find out THAT part of it until I got down there. And the station didn't know either; it was a request of the manager. Okay, no problem...or so I thought.

Get Ready to ROMP!

ROMP (River of Music Party) is coming to Owensboro's Yellow Creek Park June 23-25. Get ready for unforgettable performances from Trampled by Turtles, the Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and two of my all-time favorite white-haired people--Emmylou Harris and Steve Martin, who will be performing with the Steep Canyon Rangers. But wait! There's more...

Emmylou Romps!

Emmylou Harris has been added to the lineup for R.O.M.P. this summer at Yellow Creek Park. The big event, June 23 - 25, also stars Steve Martin and tons of Bluegrass artists. Be there!
