A New Season
The Moonshiner’s Ball returns for Year 5 on October 12th – 14th, 2018
A New Location
We are moving to a brand-new concert venue in Rockcastle County. You will exit I-75 south of Renfro Valley, turn left onto Lower River Road and follow it along the Rockcastle River (paddlers may even choose to canoe or kayak in from Livingston; it’s one of the state’s best whitewater streams) into the Daniel Boone National Forest. The road turns to gravel as you come onto 240 acres of perfect seclusion, framed by mountains, with riverside camping, an RV park and a brand new main stage (pictures coming soon). Here we will escape the insanity of the world and reboot awash in music, art and poetry. We will build big fires, dance wildly, eat from the finest food trucks, and pass our jars among the finest souls the bluegrass has ever assembled.
About The Moonshiner's Ball
Come out to where the Appalachian hills frame the horizon; where the air is clear, the water clean and the night skies dotted with the light of a thousand stars. For one weekend, forsake comfort for revelation. Turn your off the device and disconnect from all that is not immediate to your experience.
Trust that every musician, artist, poet, dancer, yogi, chef, merchant and volunteer has been painstakingly curated to maximize your experience. The Ball is not a corporate mega-festival. It is homegrown and musician-run. The artists are selected because they are original, because they will compel you to dance, or to think; to instill in you great calm, spontaneous joy or righteous fury.
We aren’t slinging dollars at large, established acts. We’re searching the entire year for diamonds in the rough, putting our own hard dollars down on art that we believe in.
Come be immersed in music and claim your space in the growing community that is The Moonshiner’s Ball. Let your kids run wild in the creek, plucking crawdads and smashing geodes. Or steer clear of Family Camping and rage until a drum circle heralds in the misty dawn.
