Modern music in south central Kentucky runs the gamut from the expected traditional bluegrass to heavy metal; hometown choirs to ragtime tributes. Newcomers and old pros, fulltime and part-time musicians. Each hoping to find an audience and a following, some succeeding at local, regional and even the national levels. Some of these recordings are unique and rare demos that received little to no air play.

If you have information regarding any of these bands please contact us at archives@wku.edu.
