3 day music festival underway in Dawson Springs

DAWSON SPRINGS, Ky. (WFIE) - In Dawson Springs, a three day free music festival is underway.

It’s at West Dawson Music Venue on Huddleston Loop Road.

More than two dozen acts from Nashville have traveled and are set to perform.

It’s being put on by Michael Holmes who converted the venue from a barn into what it is today.

He said he moved here six years ago and has seen the town go through difficult times in a short span.

“We just feel like we’re supposed to do this to touch hearts. There’s nothing that will touch a person’s heart like a song,” said Holmes.

He said this event is just a way to bring the community together.

“It’s helping build their spirits,” he said. “We want to offer hope.”

The next shows will be at South Carrollton Baptist Church tomorrow and Abundant Grace Fellowship on Sunday.
