Laurel Cove Music Festival Reviews
Whiskey Riff: "You won’t find a group of artists like it on any other festival lineup this year, and it’s refreshing to see so many independent and younger artists on a bill like this… in my opinion, that’s what sets it apart and makes it so special"

Saving Country Music 2024: “There are now many, many festivals representing independent country and roots music all around the United States. There are festivals with flashier lineups, bigger stages, extended schedules, and luxury getaway packages to cater to the power elite. But that is not what the Laurel Cove Music Festival in Pineville, Kentucky is all about. Attendees from previous years walk away from Pineville talking about the community they found, the camaraderie they shared with their fellow attendees, the intimacy of the performances, the opportunities to discover their next favorite artist, and of course the music that is expertly curated resulting in lifelong memories.”

The Amp: “While there, I heard someone refer to this spot as “the Red Rocks of Appalachia” and that has been how I mostly describe it when speaking in person. Among the many great venues and festivals in the Bluegrass state, this one stands out for its incredible display of staging and the lineup.”

Saving Country Music: “Over the last few years, we all haven’t been able to stop harping on all the great country music talent coming out of the greater Appalachian region, from Kentucky, to West Virginia, to the Commonwealth, to south and eastern Ohio. One festival with its finger squarely on the pulse of all of this has been doing their level best to put all that talent together in one place.”
