Dance the night away and hear rock n' roll the way its supposed to be in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Memphis, coming to a Louisville or New Albany theater near you.
How Churchill Downs Entertainment could have made HullabaLOU work [Music]
After losing a reported $5 million on the inaugural HullabaLOU, Churchill Downs Inc. cancelled next year's festival and put down its entertainment division today. In a press release, CDI blamed the festival's poor showing on hot weather and a cold economy.
Kenny Chesney didn't have a tractor on stage, but all the ladies still thought he was sexy at HullabaLOU [Music]
There's a reason Kenny Chesney was Saturday night's HullabaLOU headliner. This man knows how to rule a stage.
All day long I talked to die hard fans who couldn't wait for a chance to see him perform live. There were countless people in cowboy boots and straw hats. I talked to fans who came from New Jersey to Michigan, some of whom have saw him 10 times or more and keep coming back.
Louisville’s biggest Bon Jovi fans welcome the band in a big way [Music]
Louisville loves Bon Jovi. Some Louisvillians more than others.
Who came to HullabaLOU? [Music]
While a lot of people came for acts such as Ben Folds, Huey Lewis and the News, or Loretta Lynn, the headliners really dictated the atmosphere each night at HullabaLOU.
Friday was a wasteland until after work. Soccer moms started showing up around 7 pm, once the kids were safely at the sitter's for a night. People of all ages wore nostalgia band t-shirts. While there were certainly 20somethings around to see Bon Jovi, the overall crowd skewed closer to 40+.
Tales from the UPS Shuttlebus to HullabaLOU [Music]
One mom showed off a photo on her iPhone of the oversized Kenny Chesney painting she keeps in her living room so she can wake up every morning and have coffee with him.
A man traded yesterday's Al Green tickets for an electrical breaker and a celing fan.
Blood, sweat, & mullets at HullabaLOU [Music]
Friday evening was one that I'd like to be able to remember just a bit more of, but after drinking an entire fifth between just my brother and I, as well as a few lukewarm beers, much of the night is out the window, or somewhere in the crapper. All weekend I've been keeping a count and jotting down notes in hopes to document and characterize each and every mullet that I come in contact with so that I can later categorize each one diligently.
HullabaLOU review: Bon Jovi [Music]
Bon Jovi came, performed, and, at least for the first half, practically dominated the first night of the HullabaLOU festival at Churchill Downs.
Bon Jovi took to the stage and opened with Lost Highway, getting the fans up and out of their seats and singing along, at least on they hey hey parts.
How to smuggle alcohol into HullabaLOU and not tear out your pubes in the process [Music]
At the last moment my editor came thru with some extra press passes for the weekend HullabaLOU festival in the down's infield. Word for the past few weeks was that we were going to be short a a couple, so I was kind of bummed out, considering I was on of the staffers on the bench cause of seniority and whatnot. But now that the party is back on, the stove is cranked to roast, and my entry fees are floated, I am preparing for an eventful weekend packed full of booze, broads, live music, and perhaps I'll see some things that will blow my mind.
What to do when heading to HullabaLOU [Music]
Who would’ve thought Louisville would turn out to be a music festival Mecca? First there was Forecastle; now there’s HullabaLOU, a brand-new music festival to be held at Churchill Downs this weekend, July 23–25. With musical acts ranging from Al Green to Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to the B-52s to Bon Jovi and the Dave Matthews Band, there truly is something for everybody.
