Roots duo Sundy Best plays music on their own terms, defying genre labels and typical band structures -- and it's paying off big time. Beginning with a crowdfunded debut album just a few years ago, the band has gone on to play the Grand Ole Opry multiple times, sell out shows around the U.S. and release two studio albums with veteran producer R.S. Field (Justin Townes Earle, Todd Snider). With just an acoustic guitar and a cajón drum, childhood friends Nick Jamerson and Kris Bentley blend the folk and country music of their native Appalachia with rock, soul and R&B for irresistible anthemic sing-alongs like "These Days" and "Until I Met You." Their latest release, "Salvation City", finds the duo expanding their sound even further, adding electric instrumentation to the mix and branching out into a variety of styles. Catch these electrifying performers when they come to JD Legends Entertainment Complex in Franklin. [less-]

Cincinnati and her neighbor Northern Kentucky were practically built on beer. The city's brewing history is the stuff of legend and even some lore. This walking tour takes you along Cincinnati's Brewing Heritage Trail, starting at the Christian Moerlein Brewery and Malthouse Tap Room. Your guide will share the stories of several Cincinnati breweries as well as the city's past and present brewing traditions, beginning with the men (and boys -- some as young as 6) who built and worked in nineteenth century breweries, enduring dangerous working conditions, grueling hours, and the growing divide between the workers who made the beer and the "Beer Barons" who built fortunes by producing America's best brews. The tour even includes a trek underground into the subterranean lagering cellar of the Schmidt Brothers Brewery -- one of hundreds of such cellars beneath the city streets. You'll emerge with an understanding of how technology and bottled beer started to change the way we drank in the 1900s. Toast to your new knowledge with an included beer at the tour's conclusion.
