Lincoln Jamboree

With a stage that has welcomed local talent, rising stars, and country legends alike, the Lincoln Jamboree has played a pivotal role in Kentucky’s rich musical heritage. Patty Loveless, Ron Gaddis, and Tommy White—all country music greats—got their start right here on this hallowed stage. And they’re not alone. Over the years, the Jamboree has hosted performances by some of the biggest names in the industry, from Bill Monroe and Porter Wagoner to Lester Flatt and Rhonda Vincent.


Today, under the leadership of Jay Henderson, the Lincoln Jamboree remains a cornerstone of Kentucky’s live music scene. With the Jamboree Gang as the house band, the venue continues to showcase both local talent and well-known artists, making it a must-visit destination for country music fans from near and far.

As part of the Kentucky Music Trail, the Lincoln Jamboree isn’t just a stop—it’s a place where the spirit of country music comes alive, week after week, keeping Kentucky’s musical traditions alive for future generations.
