Anchored by Zach Bryan and Kentucky-native Tyler Childers, Railbird Music Festival recently returned to Lexington, Kentucky. The Infield at Red Mile hosted the two-day experience (June 3-4) featuring more than 30 artists across three stages.

Bryan headlined Saturday night (June 3) sporting a University of Kentucky shirt as he performed one of his earliest songs, “Snow,” from his debut album DeAnn. On Sunday, Bryan joined Charles Wesley Godwin and The Head and The Heart for performances.

June 4—declared “Tyler Childers Day” by the city of Lexington—saw the named headliner perform for two straight hours to close the festival’s first year at Red Mile. This year’s event featured many Kentucky-bred acts including Cole Chaney and Ricky Skaggs.

Sheryl Crow, Jenny Lewis, Goose and Marcus Mumford featured Lucius during each of their solo sets. Additional top-notch performances included Charley Crockett, Nicholas Jamerson, Morgan Wade, Weezer, Valerie June, Neal Francis, The Heavy Heavy, Nickel Creek, Amos Lee, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, 49 Winchester, flipturn, Calder Allen, Whiskey Myers and more.
