  • Great Show, Great Bands

    RBR is a uniquely Kentucky show that isn’t as popular as it ought to be. They bring in so many (largely) undiscovered artists who all have incredible talent - while undeniably being the best at simply letting the artists perform. Comfortable live show, well produced, and one heck of a lineup.
