Festival Frenzy: Honey Festival

Honey Festival - Jackson, KY 9/4/15

Welcome to the third installment of my Festival Frenzy series!

I always enjoy going up to Jackson, Breathitt to sing at their annual Honey Festival; this year was no different. Since I am a veteran performer there, I was offered a late Friday night slot from 9:00 to 10:00. Keep reading for details of the show!

The stage is always set up downtown near the Breathitt Fire Department. If you know anything about Jackson or the Honey Festival, this is a prime spot and right in the “heart” of the festival. The stage is under an enormous white tent and surrounded by metal bleachers for festival-goers to take a set and watch the entertainment. There were so many people stirring Friday night! I was thankful to have a large crowd on the bleachers, under the tent, and some even standing around, taking a break from tent hopping and funnel cake eating.

I was joined once again by my friend Dustin Wilson. I love having someone to take the stage with me and I always appreciate his company. When Dustin plays with me, we spice the set up with duets, harmonies, and he sings a few solos. I always make him throw in a Matchbox Twenty tune because he is so good at them!

Festival Finds

After our set, I headed out to the Breathitt 4H Corndog Stand where they have, undoubtedly, the best corndogs in the world. These aren’t just any corndogs. I’m not exactly sure what their secret recipe entails, but it is amazingly delicious. The line was wrapped around the parking lot, but it was sure worth the wait.
