First, a quick note: Obviously, we can’t not mention the biggest music event in Louisville this weekend, Bourbon & Beyond. It’s four days of music and drinking at the Expo Center with big-name headliners every night.
Still, we didn’t want to break the format of our 3 Concerts series or double-list it with this week’s 5 Things, so instead, we’ll just say to check out the full Bourbon & Beyond schedule for more info.
