This coming Saturday, Peak Summit will once again shine upon our fair city. This year the groove and dance festival will be held in the heart of St. Matthews on 10 stages spread across 6 bars. 25 bands for $10... that's a hell of a deal!
Here's a cool way to get a taste of most of the bands playing at the Peak Summit Festival in a little over a week. These files are in m4a format which work in iTunes and act as a chaptered podcast. When you open them, they will show a chapters menu at the top and you can skip around and listen to what bands you want or sit back and let the mix play for a little over an hour each. On a related note, when the podcasts are burned to a disc, the chapter markers turn into individual tracks on the cd.

Indoors and outdoors there are a total of three stages on Friday and Saturday, and one stage on Sunday. Each will be packed with popular music…reggae, rock, bluegrass, blues, funk, jazz, and much more. A complete lineup can be found on www.PeakSummit.com.
The annual festival’s past format has focused on using multiple, closely placed venues in Louisville’s bar districts, creating a mini-Bonnaroo atmosphere, but with two glaring exceptions—the lack of outdoor-camping and, and few (if any) family-friendly elements. This problem has been solved (!), thanks to a little-known venue that is only a 10-minute drive outside of
