Celebrating the spirit of Kentucky,
in NKY

Last year on March 2, 2024, The B-Line® and Smoke Justis joined forces to host the inaugural Bonded Spirit Bluegrass Festival in the heart of Covington, Kentucky… and what a night it was!

Attendees were treated to the perfect blend of savory smoked meats, smooth bourbon, and the lively sounds of bluegrass. Moonshine Drive, Sister Sadie, and The Goodwin Brothers took over the Roebling Rickhouse tent, delivering foot-stomping, singalong-worthy performances that kept the energy high all night long.

As a nod to Bottled-in-Bond Day, mixologists shook things up with a spirited cocktail competition featuring New Riff Bottled-in-Bond bourbon.

Relive the magic with our recap video and get ready for an even better 2025!

Where bourbon spirit meets Americana & Bluegrass soul in NKY

Saturday, March 8

The Bonded Spirit Music Festival in Covington, Kentucky, is back! An annual celebration that blends the rich legacy of bourbon with the soulful tunes of Americana & Bluegrass music. Held in early March, the fest is named after the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, a bourbon purity law that passed in March of that year and was advocated for by Covington's own John G. Carlisle.

The Bonded Spirit Music Festival aims to draw bourbon enthusiasts, as well fans of Americana & Bluegrass live music. Visitors and attendees can expect nationally recognized acts performing on a stage backdropped by the iconic Roebling Bridge, as well as local flavor and plenty of bourbon.

The Bonded Spirit Music Festival not only commemorates John G. Carlisle and the Bottled-in-Bond Act but, coupled with the local B-Line® self-guided bourbon experience, further emphasizes Northern Kentucky's pivotal role in bourbon history and solidifies its present status as a top-tier destination, promising an unparalleled bourbon experience.
