THE FESTIVAL

"Hey intern, how about mentioning our festival every once in awhile instead of always using that sharp wit of yours to analyze everyone on the cover of US Weekly?" Yes sir. Here we go.

For the past two years Alltech has put on the Fortnight Festival to build anticipation for the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky (which by the way is the biggest thing to happen to the U.S. since the 2002 Winter Olympics). We've had artists like Alan Jackson, Lee Ann Womack, The Doobie Brothers, The Beach Boys, The Punch Brothers, Liza Minnelli, The Decemberists and tons of local artists have played for our Kentucky-wide festival.

Not a bad warm up.

Get ready folks, it's the year of the games. Kentucky is expecting 600,000-900,000 visitors for the games, and we aren't here to disappoint. Just imagine going to witness the unbelieveable equine events at the Kentucky Horsepark during the day, seeing all the sights, exposing yourself to different cultures, and experiencing the shared love for the eight spectacular events. Now, what's different about these Games is after the day is over, there will be several events happening in different Kentucky cities EVERY night; combine live music and KY Ale and something magical happens!

We are now looking for talented Kentucky musicians, both solo artists and bands, of every genre to enterain across the bluegrass. If you're interested, send your music samples, biography, anything that shows us who you are as an artist to:
