Enjoy Music in the Sky and Music on the Ground This Week at Friday After 5

We are rounding the turn to the final four weeks of the 25th Anniversary Season of Friday After 5.  It's Week #13, which happens to coincide with the Owensboro Air Show. Here's a look at who's taking the stage, where and when tonight downtown.  The lineup features a legendary Owensboro band going acoustic, some great country music, a party band and the second Worship on the Water event of the year.

Of course, last week, we hosted the finale of our talent contest, WBKR's Friday Night Fight, which was sponsored by the Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center. It was an incredible night of live music and drama as eight acts performed, in a series of head-to-head battles, for our grand prize.

When it was all said and done, Kentucky Shine and Emmalee Chinn sang and played their way to the final, where Kentucky Shine claimed the victory.  They snagged $1000 and the right to open for the All the Cool Kids event featuring AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys, Chris Kirkpatrick from *NSYNC and Jeff Simmons from 98 Degrees.  That concert is set for Friday, September 3rd, which is the final night of the season.  There's no doubt that Friday AFter 5 is wrapping up its 25th season with a bang!

And, we're excited for Kentucky Shine to kick off the show and for Emmalee Chinn, who was surprised last week with the news that she'll be opening for Kentucky Shine that night too.
