Join us for a celebration of the Country Music Highway
Kentucky’s Country Music Highway has produced more stars per square mile than any stretch of roadway in the world.
We are proud of that, and we want to make sure this continues.
That’s why Shaping Our Appalachian Region launched the Country Music Highway Tribute Show, featuring up-and-coming musicians from up and down country music’s most famous stretch of roadway.
Mark your calendars for this year’s shows!
- June 1 | Downtown Russell (Greenup County)
- July 13 | Downtown Louisa (Lawrence County)
- August 2-3 | Downtown Ashland (Boyd County)
Proceeds benefit organizations supporting the arts along the Country Music Highway.

It’s a wrap on the 2023 Country Music Highway Tribute Show
Shaping Our Appalachian Region joined tourism organizations from up and down the Country Music Highway for a three-part summer concert series in Paintsville, Whitesburg, and Prestonsburg. It was presented by Double Kwik.
Our vision was simple. To create an event that paid homage to the stars of the Highway with the up-and-coming talent working to get to Nashville and beyond. After all, there’s not an area on the planet that has produced more stars per square mile than the Country Music Highway.
Aside from the music, we raised more than $7,000 that was reinvested back into music and art education along the Country Music Highway.
