Bourbon Lodge memberships can be purchased in advance through Ticketmaster for $25 plus applicable fees.
Back again, the Kentucky Landing will feature a variety of local craft beers, food trucks, businesses and a selection of non-profit organizations and craft vendors selling Kentucky-made goods.
Highlighted in Rolling Stone as “One of the Coolest Festivals in America” and acclaimed by Garden and Gun as the “Greatest Show for Earth,” the Forecastle Festival has evolved from a small community event into one of the country’s premier festival destinations.
Forecastle’s built environment presents Louisville’s rich culture through equal parts music, art and activism®. Beyond the first-class musical lineup, the event showcases the city’s burgeoning culinary and arts scene, Kentucky’s unique bourbon heritage and more. Sustainability and conservation initiatives are guided by the festival’s 501c3 non-profit organization, the Forecastle Foundation.
Artist additions, single day tickets and late-night show tickets, along with the daily schedule of artists, late-night events and other activities will be available in 2016.

Del & Dawg
A Friendship, A Relationship, A 50 Year Journey of Two Musical Legends
It was 1963 and Del McCoury was playing His first show with the legendary Bill Monroe at New York University in Greenwich Village. Del was playing the banjo but that is a story all of it’s own. This, however, is where Del McCoury met David Grisman for the very first time! Three years later, Del & Dawg played their first gig together in Troy, NY at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Shortly after this they both were blessed with the arrival of first-born sons, Monroe Grisman and Ronnie McCoury, within a month of each other. Through the years they have remained great friends and have played many shows together and released several albums as well.
Last night, nearly 50 years from that first show in the spring of 1966, Del & Dawg came to The Hamilton Live in our Nation’s Capital to not only blow the roof off with some amazing bluegrass music but to remind us of what is really important in life…. Music, Laughter, and that all important Relationship of Good Friends!
Del & Dawg came out on the stage with a smile and performed a captivating show that was a pleasure to listen to as well as watch! It was obvious how much fun they were having together however what was really obvious was the mutual respect that they each have for one another! 50 years of a path that led apart and back together again many times, a relationship that continues to grow, a friendship!
I could not think of a better setting than The Hamilton Live, 600 14th Street, N.W. Washington, DC to enjoy this performance! Again I give kudos to The Hamilton and all of their staff! They are always pleasant and helpful which adds to the enjoyment of the evening!
Thank You Hamilton Staff, Thank You Del & Dawg!
