Welcome to this week’s Ace Picks for Lexington, Kentucky — Ace’s highly curated and selective to do list for the next eight days in the bluegrass (also delivered to your inbox every Thursday morning via the Ace e-dition click here to subscribe.)
THURSDAY DECEMBER 27, 2012
Matt Duncan and friends at Natasha’s. (Click here to read Kakie Urch’s archived profile.)
The Lyric Theatre will host a Kwanzaa celebration.
FRIDAY DECEMBER 28, 2012
Nashville band Luella and the Sun will play at Willie’s, and CLUTCH comes to Buster’s.
SATURDAY DECEMBER 29, 2012
The city of Lexington will be largely deserted en masse when UK plays Louisville, at Louisville on Saturday. Looking for a Lexington location to watch UK vs UL? The Kentucky Theatre will show the big game on the big screen. Doors open at 3.
But the left-behinds have a great evening in store. Tula’s annual tribute to the Last Waltz is at Buster’s, and Taildragger plays the Green Lantern. RESCHEDULED. (Click for vintage Ace Taildragger archive.)
SUNDAY DECEMBER 30, 2012
Ford Theatre Reunion will play Al’s Bar (in case you missed their End of Everything show on the Mayan Apocalypse? They made it! We all made it!)
MONDAY DECEMBER 31, 2012 New Year’s Eve
We have put together a bar and restaurant guide for dining out on New Year’s Eve.
But if Live Music is what you want, the can’t-miss show is the Final (final?) performance by the G-Funk All-Stars at Buster’s.
TUESDAY JANUARY 1, 2013
Happy New Year!
But before you move on… take a look back at Ace’s Year in Review in Food, the Year in Review in Movies, and the Year in Review in Books.
New Year’s Day will be the 20th anniversary of the death of the Late Great Townes Van Zandt. Jim Porter’s in Louisville’s annual tribute show is tonight.
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 2, 2013
UK Home Game: UK vs Eastern Michigan. Plan traffic routes accordingly.
THURSDAY JANUARY 3, 2013
