Music scene · Shelbyville

Shelbyville is a Bluegrass Country town where music reflects small-town Kentucky life through school bands, church choirs, country cover groups, and the annual county fair. Louisville and Lexington musicians often pass through.

Gigs can be found at the county fairgrounds, high school auditorium, American Legion hall, church fellowship halls, and downtown restaurants around the historic square.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Louisville and Lexington scenes occasionally passing through.

Join the school band or a church ensemble, play at fair and festival events, and drive to Louisville or Lexington for regular open mics and larger venues.
