Heading up the two-day Railbird Festival Sunday night at the Ride Mile is a Kentucky native turned national name.
"It is really an honor to have Chris Stapleton headlining this year. We've wanted to have Chris for a long time with his ties to Lexington." Festival executive Ted Heinig says that’s in addition to Rock & Roots favorites including "Counting Crows, Dwight Yoakam, Lord Huron, the list goes on and on..."
New additions this year include a Bourbon Hideout, with bourbon producers doing special blends for the festival. Festival organizers have also run a sewer connection out to the field, allowing for "the closest thing to regular restrooms" one can have mid-field.
