Saturday, July 25

Noon Nizhoni’ Sky – Quickly becoming one of the areas most respected performers, Fred Kearns plays original Navajo flute songs.  Put that together with a top notch band and mix in some original takes on Classic Rock songs, and you have one of the favorite bands to ever perform here.

Longshots Lounge Brings Jazz and R&B to Frankfort

Longshots The Lounge

LONGSHOTS COCKTAIL LOUNGE; FRANKFORT’S COOLEST NIGHT SPOT FOR HOT ENTERTAINMENT

Presents The Sammy Coulter Show

Jockey JAMES LONG of Kentucky horse racing fame, had a dream after retiring from the track: to provide a relaxing, comfortable place where friends and patrons could enjoy an adult beverage & listen to the area’s great talent. He and his wife realized that dream earlier this year when they opened Longshots Cocktail Lounge.

Continuing with their Friday Jazz Series, on August 29, from 8 to 11pm, Longshots will present The Sammy Coulter Show, starring Sammy Coulter. Coulter, a Louisville native who now calls Frankfort home, performs a mix of old standards, jazz/rock, blues & adult contemporary & will knock your socks off with his powerhouse, blue eyed soul vocals. If you haven’t caught one of Sammy’s shows recently you owe it to yourself to discover what others already know– it’s showtime from the first song to the last.

Something many don’t know is that Sammy recently attracted the ear of WORLD FAMOUS producer, Peter Sullivan (the one who introduced Tom Jones to the world). Sullivan & Coulter are now working together in artist development.

You can catch Sammy’s amazing vocals & smooth sax style at Longshots on the 29th and again on September 12 at 765 Holmes Street, Frankfort KY 40601. Find The Sammy Coulter Show online at www.sammycoulter.com

This is a 21 & over show and there will be a small cover at the door. Be sure to check out all the events and specials Longshots has to offer. For more information contact Longshots at (502) 320-2415 and follow them on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/Longshotscocktaillounge
