Head out to Bardstown Community Park tonight for the FREE Summer Concert Series at 7pm. Don’t Forget to bring your chair! Entertainment for the evening from The AltarNatives. They are a “spin-off” of the contemporary choir at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Bardstown—hence the play-on-words name. The group blends genres in an acoustic style, with harmony-forward arrangements that reflect its wide-ranging influences. Their set lists draw from everything from 1940s standards and classic rock of the ’60s and ’70s to ’90s folk, today’s alt-country, and AltarNative’s original songs.

‼CONCERT MOVED‼ Concert moved to Bardstown Baptist Church! Head out to the Bardstown Baptist Church tonight for the FREE Summer Concert at 7pm with Gary Vidito's show, I'm Not Done Yet! The show features some great classic rock that we all love! But it also features some of Vidito's original songsabout things that we deal with as life flies by! Just like those issues, some songs are funny, some serious. But all of them help seniors navigate and find their “new purpose” in life.
