Ready for the World

Welcome to Music Wanderlust! If you love listening to live music as much as I do, and have ever wondered, “Is my favorite band playing somewhere this weekend?” or “Who is playing at the local venues this weekend?” This is the place for you.

I’ve always loved music but really got into the live music scene in 2015, when I went to a music festival with my teenaged son. I had been to some small concerts, had friends who were singers/musicians and loved listening to them play live. Something about the experience of FEELING the music live with thousands of other music fans ignited a passion in me for all types of live music.

My husband of 25 had suddenly passed away and music became my respite. I started going to local venues and listening to as many live artists as my busy schedule allowed. I met my best friend (now husband), and we bonded over music and our shared life experiences. I started talking to the artists and venue owners and found that the artists usually didn’t promote where they were playing until the night of the show. The venues where they played (bars/restaurants, distilleries, or wineries) didn’t advertise the artists until a couple of days before they played. With such short notice many fans had already made other plans or didn’t know the artists were playing at all.

I heard the frustration of the artists, venues and fans then decided it would be my passion project to get the word out for them. Thus musicwanderlust.com was born. Musicwanderlust.com is a platform to promote local artists and venues in the South Central Kentucky area that feature live music.

I will provide the artists show calendars up to one month ahead of showtime. I will also feature local venue events and spotlights along with artist spotlights and maybe some interviews in the near future. I try to listen to live music when we travel and love to discover new artists, so I will add any new artists and venues we find along the way. Make sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram!
