Bourbon Meets Basslines

For almost a year, Bourbon City and Sixty Sixty Sounds have been swapping London shake-ups for Kentucky soundchecks. From London Cocktail Week takeovers to boots-on-the-ground sessions across Louisville’s distilleries, bars, bottle shops, and bourbon institutions, our team has created a rolling cultural exchange where music meets bourbon and neither side plays it safe.

Lucky for you, this international duo is not done yet. Louisville and Sixty Sixty Sounds are back in sync once again in the lead up to Bourbon & Beyond, the world’s largest bourbon and music festival in its eighth and biggest edition.

Who is headlining this year’s Bourbon & Beyond Festival?

Sixty Sixty Sounds

Founded and run by like-minded individuals, Sixty Sixty Sounds is a group of musicians dedicated to building a home for the community and culture that they love. The team first came together through guitars or through their store on the iconic Denmark Street in Central London, a place long associated with the heart of the UK’s music scene.

Their guitar store reflects the brands they genuinely play and believe in, curated from real experience rather than trends. And no music store is complete without its very own British Bulldog, Dolly.

WITH LOVE ❤️
