The female lead singer for Big Boom Theory, Jonell Mosser, has a big following of fans in Hopkinsville, said Hays. Many of the same musicians played in a band called 1971 - The Greatest Year in Music that had a show at the Alhambra in June 2019. The music will include classic rock, soul and pop.ĩDayTrip describes its Americana sound as a “recipe of soulful blues, homegrown Carolina country and rock-n-roll roots mixed with psychedelic jam.”īig Boom Theory is 10 musicians from Nashville, including two who are originally from Hopkinsville - guitarist and singer Mark Jones and bass player Chip Graham. “They will play a little bit of a piece and they stop in the middle … and you hear, OK, it’s going to be great.” “There is the anticipation,” Hays described. Many concert-goers enjoy this part of the day because it’s like a tune up for the crowd as well. The distillery will be open for bar sales, tours and tastings when the gates open. Non-alcoholic drinks will be sold also - and Hays said the festival is family-friendly, so children are welcome to attend.Ī few hours before the music starts, the bands will go through their sound checks.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people who are not fully vaccinated should wear a mask in indoor public places - and in areas with high transmission, such as Christian County, masks are recommended indoors even for vaccinated people to maximize protection against the delta variant. “I feel like we are doing everything we need to do,” she said. The outdoor tables will be spaced apart for distancing, she said, and hand sanitizer that the distillery manufactures will be available in numerous places.
