Live Music
In our city, live music is everything. With more and more music venues popping up across the city and county, Owensboro is quickly becoming one of the best places in the state to catch a show. Owensboro is the Bluegrass Music Capital of the World and your go-to destination for live Bluegrass music. At the world-renown Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum, you can catch shows from some of the world’s best musicians in the state-of-the-art Woodward Theatre. Whether it’s one of the legendary headliners that put Bluegrass music on the map, or one of the “Newgrass” bands you keep hearing so much about, this is one of the only museums in the state that offers live music all year round. With or without live music, Owensboro’s downtown riverfront is breathtakingly beautiful. But during the spring and summer months, our 16-week outdoor music festival is one of the hottest hot spots in the state of Kentucky. At Friday After 5, you’ll find bands that cover everything from rock and country to funk and gospel. As you walk along the edge of the Ohio River, you can hear the music all around you, especially with Live on the Banks, a Saturday night music series. 4
