Rosine Barn Jamboree in Rosine

In the small town of Rosine, Kentucky, the birthplace of Bill Monroe, lies a treasured landmark where the echoes of bluegrass music still ring true—the historic Rosine Barn. Once a humble general store that gave rise to lively jam sessions, this barn soon became the heart of the local music scene, hosting what is now known as the Ole Barn Jamboree.

Through the years, the Rosine Barn has welcomed legendary musicians, including Monroe himself, the Father of Bluegrass. The barn has evolved into a cherished cultural site, preserving and celebrating the traditions of bluegrass music every week with live performances that capture the spirit of Kentucky’s musical heritage.

As part of the Kentucky Music Trail, the Rosine Barn invites you to experience the sounds that shaped a genre. Whether you’re a bluegrass enthusiast or simply seeking a connection to Kentucky’s rich musical roots, this venue offers an authentic slice of Americana. With weekly sessions and a deep commitment to honoring the past while embracing the future, the Rosine Barn is a must-visit stop for anyone exploring Kentucky’s legendary music trail.
