 Georges A. Gauthier Nominally the headliner, the energy level and my personal enthusiasm came down a few notches from Amadou & Mariam the openers. Brad was great: his fiddling, whistling and singing are amazing. However, though impressed I was not moved. Andrew Bird / Amadou & Mariam Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier There was a symbiotic connection between crowd and performer. I’ve never seen crowd participation like this before. She’s quite the fun show. Santigold Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Marika Hackman put on a paired-down set list, but her voice and charm came through more loudly. It was intimate, ghostly and lush. Just gorgeous. Marika Hackman Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier There’s a difference between artistry & craft. Spoon are great songwriters, but seeing them is watching professionals working hard at their craft. Not merely a well oiled machine but a precisely crafted Swiss timepiece! Spoon / A Giant Dog Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier K.T. Tunstall kicked off #Bourbon&Beyond with a spirited set of classics and great mash-up covers. Marking the beginning of an eclectic lineup of equally fantastic musicians. Bourbon and Beyond 2024 Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier M Ward was a name I’ve heard in my circle of tastes for a long time. Sure enough, he was really good. It didn’t move me, but it was entertaining. Beck / Maren Morris / The Wallflowers / Beth Hart / Arlo Parks Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier In my second encounter with the Wallflowers live I found I was more appreciative. I was sufficiently impressed the first time to buy an album and listening when more familiar with the songs is always a deeper experience. I would complain with a third.

 Georges A. Gauthier A name I’ve heard forever but whom I’ve never really listened to, Lyle Lovett impressed me with his mix of blues, Blue eyed R&B and country. he’s a great performer and has a fantastic band. A very pleasant experience. Bourbon and Beyond 2024 Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Fleet Foxes sound like no one else live. No one is doing harmonies like them. They were really good though I’d prefer to see them in an intimate setting next time. Something about their music makes me want to feel cosy and confined. Sting / Matchbox Twenty / Fleet Foxes / Lyle Lovett / M. Ward Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Matchbox Twenty are nothing more than a rock radio vestigial memory for me and weren’t a priority to see but they are good performers and I delighted in their cover of Simple Minds’ Don’t You Forget About Me. Bourbon and Beyond 2024 Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Saw Suzanne Vega do her hit. That was weird. I’ve seen it many times as people around me at a festival are roused out of their stupor and suddenly realize they’ve heard this song. It just doesn’t happen to me very often. Bourbon and Beyond 2024 Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Amanda Shires put out one of my favourite albums of 2022. Under the blistering Kentucky sun her performance gave me chills. Her songs, her voice, her fiddle, her beauty; I was nearly overwhelmed but she inspired me Take It Like A Man Bourbon and Beyond 2024 Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier “Thanks for getting me out of the house.” Beck said to us while he put on a lively show spanning upbeat tracks from his repertoire. His improvisations on Debrah were delightfully entertaining as well. Beck / Maren Morris / The Wallflowers / Beth Hart / Arlo Parks Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Sting closed day 1 of Bourbon & Beyond. It was an incidental show for me. I’ve seen him many times and Jon had little interest. But I did like the way he did little intros to several of his songs. Missed most of it trying, in vain, to beat the crowds out Sting / Matchbox Twenty / Fleet Foxes / Lyle Lovett / M. Ward Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Pleasantly surprised by The Head and the Heart, clearly popular group I knew little about. But their position in the lineup at Bourbon & Beyond speaks to the masterful curating. They fit it perfectly. Bourbon & Beyond 2024 - Friday Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Black Puma Was amazing. I loved the energy, groove and soul. This was a new discovery for me but I’m now a fan. Bourbon & Beyond 2024 - Friday Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Tadeschi Trucks band delivers Stellar blues: every member shines but the two leads are guiding stars who burn especially brightly. Derek Trucks shone beyond his own stage, appearing with both Black Pumas before and Dave Matthews after. Bourbon & Beyond 2024 - Friday Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Dave Matthews was His usual quirky self, phenomenal jamming and guest staring D Trucks for an epic solo but the show was hampered by lengthy dead spaces between songs which broke up the vibe. As usual, my favourites were the covers: Let’s Dance and Watchtower/Stairway Bourbon & Beyond 2024 - Friday Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Rushed to make War on Drugs after arriving from Nashville but I wasn’t disappointed. Grandiciel was in great form, making jokes and jamming out in the Louisville rain. Bourbon & Beyond 2024 - Sunday Oct 12, 2025
 Georges A. Gauthier Another festival, another lukewarm crowd for the National. We missed seeing them in concert in MTL to be at Bourbon & Beyond and though Berninger was in a good mood, playful & playing a shortlist of popular songs, Louisville didn’t care. Plus, the sound guy messed the bass levels Bourbon & Beyond 2024 - Sunday Oct 12, 2025
