This event is aimed at raising awareness about the current threat to eastern
hemlock trees from a tiny invasive insect from Asia. All proceeds will
benefit Save Kentucky’s Hemlocks, a partnership
of citizens, non-profits and government agencies working together to save
eastern hemlocks. The evening will start off with a group art show with
approximately 25 artists participating; later that evening a line up of
three of Kentucky’s finest bands will take the stage.

| • | Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Picket Line - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (Will Oldham) is one of the finest musicians to come out of Kentucky. His songs eloquently capture emotion and tend to take you along on a journey. Johnny Cash called him "the finest songwriter to come out of America in the past decade." The Picket Line is a traditional music outfit from Louisville that has more recently been collaborating with him. Listen |
| • | The Swells – Chris Sullivan, Warren Byrom , Andy Mason & friends play an eclectic mix of original songs and obscure public domain material steeped in New Orleans Traditions – covering materials from Duke Ellington to Leadbelly to Bill Monroe. Listen |
| • | Englishman - Andrew English & friends. Best described as warm and familiar folk-pop played in a room with a warm, bright fireplace but no furniture. Listen |
