WUKY's Phoenix Fridays Brings Concert to Downtown Lexington Friday

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 24, 2014) ― WUKY's Phoenix Fridays concert in Lexington's Phoenix Park tomorrow night features Saintseneca, Englishman and Small Batch.

The free outdoor summertime concert series presented by Bunbury and Buckle Up Music Festivals and WUKY, the University of Kentucky's NPR station, presents its second event of the summer Friday, July 25, in downtown Lexington.

The series, which offers concerts beginning at 5 p.m. every fourth Friday of June, July, August and September in Phoenix Park, will open with Small Batch and Englishman, followed by headliner Saintseneca. 

The WUKY website describes Saintseneca as "an indie folk unit founded and led by songwriter and lead vocalist Zac Little. They are a mercurial group that meld folk music from Appalachian and international traditions to post-modern pop and acoustically driven indie rock."

To learn more about all three acts and sample their music, visit the WUKY website.

Local food trucks will be onsite at Phoenix Park, located at the corner of Main Street and South Limestone in downtown Lexington.

Produced by the Downtown Lexington Corporation, WUKY's Phoenix Fridays feature local bands as the opening act, followed by nationally touring bands.
