Houndmouth Wraps Up Kentucky Week at the Historic Kentucky Theater
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 16, 2014) — The rising, Kentucky-native band Houndmouth is set to rock the Kentucky Theater, one of Lexington’s most historic venues, at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, hosted by Student Activities Board’s concert committee. Special guest Andrea Davidson will also be in attendance with the band. Students who enjoy the Lumineers, Alabama Shakes or The Head and the Heart should take advantage of this event. Houndmouth has worked with each of these bands in the past and has had some significant success in the last couple of years.
Tickets are available to students with a valid UK ID for $5 and to the general public for $15. Student tickets can be purchased in the Student Involvement Ticket Center, 253 Student Center. General public tickets can be purchased at the Student Involvement Ticket Center and at www.showclix.com.
Buses from campus to the Kentucky Theater will be available to students from 6:30 p.m. until midnight. Campus stops include Complex Drive/Johnson Center Front Entrance, in front of William T. Young Library and Avenue of Champions bus stop by Alumni Gym.
"Hailing from the Louisville area, Houndmouth is one example of the prolific talent that currently makes up the Kentucky music scene,” Jordan Keeton, SAB director of concerts, said. “In the recent past, the band has gained a lot of notoriety and played at some massive venues, including Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver. At this current trajectory, it's only a matter of time before the band is a household name, and this show represents a cool opportunity to see a band climbing the ladder of stardom."
Houndmouth is the last event of Kentucky Week, a short series of events created to celebrate several aspects of Kentucky. Arts, agriculture, artisanship, athletics and music from the state are exhibited for those who call the Commonwealth home, either permanently or temporarily. This week seeks to delve beneath the traditional representations of the state to reveal the rich culture tucked away in both hills and cities across the Bluegrass.
SAB brings more than 100 entertaining, educational and enriching programs that are reflective of contemporary issues and trends to the University of Kentucky annually. These programs are designed to enhance the college experience for students, faculty, staff and the greater Lexington community.
