 Uncle Slayton's music room and urban outpost... Come on in...
|
Two separate buildings once upon a time, Uncle Slayton’s music venue and urban outpost near downtown Louisville, KY, presented its first show in March of 2011. Dating back to 1895, the Unc's vintage vibe and double-wide floor plan created an exposed brick and wood “small hall” performance space with pin-drop acoustics and a separate bar area, plus a rear patio/smoking area is open seasonally. Yep, cozy, and designed to showcase and nurture the finest talent in the Mid-South and beyond: Local and touring bands, those emerging in the market, and established artists who preferred a more intimate setting all found a home here. Completely accessible with modern PA system and the area’s most accomplished sound & recording engineers, Slayton's also opened its doors for rehearsals, special events and after-show soirees. After a mighty fine run of two and a half years, Slayton's held its final and 288th show on July 27, 2013. (Okay, asked and answered: UNCLE SLAYTON is a character in the classic James McMurtry song "Choctaw Bingo"…our nod to Texas and its great, good music.) |
