Pokey LaFarge is back in town! He’s playing tonight at Headliners Music Hall but he’s come by our studio first to record a video for our WFPK Library Sessions!

It was a great weekend for Jug Band Music in Louisville.On the eve of the 2018 National Jug Band Jubilee, Michael Jones presents the history of jug band music in Louisville, “The Color of Jug Band Music, Examining the Complex Racial History of the Genre,” followed by a special panel discussion Friday, Sept. 14, 2018 at the Highlands Community Campus in Louisville, Ky.
