Even though it’s not officially summer until June 21st, with the weather getting hot, schools letting out, patio furniture coming out of storage and pool covers being taken off, to me that screams summer!  And what better way to start off the summer than an outdoor concert event at Elk Creek Vineyards! 

And not just any event, but none other than A1A: The Official and Original Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band!  These guys are sanctioned by Jimmy Buffett himself!  It will be a night of great music, great dancing and great fun.  You can let your hair down and enjoy being a “Parrothead” with a couple hundred of your closest friends all wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts!  A1A and Jeff Pike has a knack for getting people up off their seats and before you know it you’re singing at the top of your lungs, “Fins to the left, fins to the right”! 

And what better time to enjoy a cheeseburger in paradise then May since it is  “National Burger month.”  So we’ve got the month of May, A1A, cheeseburgers, parrotheads, Elk Creek Vineyards and the best darn wine in the state of Kentucky!!  Sounds like a perfect night to me!  See you there!

It’s that time of year again for Elk Creek Vineyards 2009 Summer Concert Series!  I for one have been biting at the bit to see what amazing bands they have playing this year on their outdoor amphitheater.

Well I can tell you the wait was definitely worth it!  Returning again this year due to overwhelming turnouts because they rocked from last summer; the amazing Buddy Guy (with special guest Quinn Sullivan) and A1A, the official Jimmy Buffet tribute band.  Plus some new faces to the Elk Creek summer series;  Pocket Change will play for the July 4th weekend while Rozzi will once again dazzle us with their spectacular fireworks and Darius Rucker (of Hootie and the Blowfish) with special guest Jason Jones will be the reason we’ll all be getting together at Elk Creek Vineyards in July!

This is just a few of the bands that are going to be playing at Elk Creek this summer.  The full schedule is still being put together but I’m sure it won’t disappoint!  What can be better than sitting outside on a beautiful summer’s night, listening to unbelievable musicians and all the while relaxing with a glass of the best wine in Kentucky?  I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get any better than that!
