Kentucky Center for the Arts (Whitney Hall)
I’m not one for singing groups lacking instruments, but I must admit this male a cappella has some intriguing talent. They mostly cover modern pop hits, but they dabble in some Motown and rock songs too.
The New Vintage
Nemes (knee-miss) is a genre muddling group with “one of a kind violin shredding”. Every song from the Boston group is vastly different from the last, but what’s most exciting is The Trouts; local and DIY. “Caught” them at Kaiju a few months back and the group at a basic form is goofy, fun, and worth seeing again.

The New Vintage
If “cosmic country” is your cup of tea then Kip Bradley has got you covered. Running in the same vein as Noah Gunderson, but a little grittier.
