Fishing with a Musician brings artists and fans together for charity
Fishing with a Musician: A Kentucky music experience that funds school programs
In an age of oversized music festivals — where posters nearly require a magnifying glass to read the lineup and event hosts try to make a shared space of 50,000 feel intimate — Fishin’ with a Musician offers the ultimate ticket for philanthropic-minded fans. It goes beyond VIP and feels more private than any listening room. It’s just an artist, a rod and reel, and the kind of unhurried conversations where connections are made and everything is stripped to the core of what makes a good song: a good story.
What Goodman and fellow western Kentucky native Kelsey Waldon gave two music fans that afternoon in May was an exclusive experience. Similar trips happen a handful of times a year in remote fishing locations across the country with other artists.
This year’s Fishin’ with a Musician auction includes more than 20 country artists in places like Tennessee, North Carolina and, of course, the honey holes of Stone Farm. Bidding begins Oct. 15.
Kentucky artists, from Nicholas Jamerson and The Creekers, to Logan Halsted and Arthur Hancock IV, himself – plus Goodman and Waldon will return.
The offerings at the Bourbon County horse farm stretch furlongs beyond fishing. Fishin’ with a Musician is a quintessential music experience, finely tuned in three chords, a reel and the truth.
