  I’m so glad to here with you! So, a little bit about me… I was born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and moved to Lexington, KY in January of 2015.  I’m a young up and coming singer songwriter with my own distinctive vocal sound and signature acoustic style. I have performed around Staffordshire Englad and also in Lexington and surrounding areas of Kentucky. In April 2016, I was one of the winning acts at the Eastern Kentucky University Battle of the Bands Competition and I’ve gone to perform at festivals, WKYT CBS TV, and radio. I just completed my first album, “Reminds Me of You” and I’m happy to be able to share my passion of music on soundoflexington.com.  You can find me on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/lissytaylormusician/ Or on Twitter – https://twitter.com/LissyTaylor17 You can also check out my website – www.lissytaylor.com

  Brothers Trenton and Trevor Jenkins from Irvine, Kentucky represent a culture that spans larger than the majestic foothills of the Appalachian mountains where they were raised. With their folk infused mix of Americana, rock, and bluegrass tunes, they represent a type of music that transcends genres and shatters the rules established by the music industry. In short, they jam out and they’re quite pleased to be a part of Sound of Lexington.   You can find The Jenkins Twins on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejenkinstwins/ Their new EP “Alive and Well” is now on Spotify!

  The Local Honeys are a charming duo, born and raised in Central and Eastern Kentucky. The pairing is comprised of Montana Hobbs and Linda Jean Stokley. Montana  and Linda Jean are the first females to graduate with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Traditional Music from Morehead State University. Their sincere dedication to Kentucky music led them to spend many late evenings in the college’s traditional music archives where they listened in awe to the many regional fiddle and banjo players from which they have drawn much of their repertoire. They listened eagerly through the static and crackle of many field recordings to transliterate the living and late Kentucky artists whose stories, songs, and tunes were recorded by those foreseeing the importance of their survival. These ladies have cultivated a distinguishing sound by utilizing their powerful voices, in both sweet and haunting, intricate harmony. Their voices lay fittingly suspended in air in a capella fashion or befittingly entwined

  Triumph Kentucky aka Let’s Roll Kentucky Meeting April 28, 2017 Location – Dave Hartsek’s home for cookout We had a really great meeting at Dave’s lovely home in Lexington on a beautiful Friday night.  He had everything laid out and ready for us when we arrived.  I was concerned that we were late because normally our get-together s run from about 4:30 to 6:00 pm mid-week, so when we showed up near 6:00 we thought we would be showing up for cold leftover we were pleasantly surprised to find out we were one of the early arrivers and came in just behind Darrell and Heidi. We were welcomed to the bright and clean home Dave has made for himself and also some roommates who help share his house.  His garage floor he had painted with a really cool paint that seems like more than paint, and not only that but the walls have drywall and even crown molding!  For sure the most beautiful garage that I’ve seen!  Lol He prepared ahead of time for us with all the fixins for our hamburgers and hot dog

  Let’s Roll Kentucky Meeting with Heidi McKenzie Darrell Mattingly Carolyn Burnette Hello everyone, I’m a bit behind in posting this, especially since we just had our May meeting last night!  We discussed more in that meeting that I will post soon!  Until then please read this article and get an idea of where we are going with our Bathrooms and Businesses! Blessings!  Carolyn Heidi McKenzie, the queen of Lexington, and Darrell Mattingly, the best attitude in town, and I (regular joe lol)    met at The Campus Pub on Waller Ave. in Lexington to talk about our vision and mission statement for Let’s Roll Kentucky.    We talked about several items and one that kept coming up was the issue with public bathrooms for the handicapped at many of our local restaurants and pubs in Lexington.    There are several very old establishments that are not required to update their bathrooms because they were built before the laws were established back in 1992.    That was quite a while ago and we are thi
