Steep Canyon Rangers will play at Paulie's Toasted Barrel as part of the Best of Bluegrass series.
June 9-12
Various venues
Best of Bluegrass, affectionately referred to as B.O.B., began in 2013 when a group of passionate volunteers came together to craft an event that would not only coincide with the 40th anniversary of Festival of the Bluegrass at the Kentucky Horse Park, but also serve to highlight one of Lexington’s signature cultural traditions –– bluegrass music –– within the community and region.
Now in its second year, the event has turned into a weeklong multi-venue event featuring masters of the craft, as well as new, innovative bands and artists. The series utilizes established institutions such as Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, Southland Jamboree, Red Barn Radio and Thursday Night Live and favorite local venues, including Willie’s Locally Known, Parlay Social and Al’s Bar. Admission is free for many events; visit the event’s website for more information.
