RUXers gather for a weekend of music & connection at 40th Seedtime

Earlier this month, the KY Rural-Urban Exchange (RUX) was excited to be part of Appalshop’s 40th Seedtime on the Cumberland.

The weekend-long festival, hosted in Whitesburg, KY, features art, music, dancing, food, and craft from throughout the region.

On Friday of the festival, RUXers convened in time to enjoy the annual Seedtime Punk Show, which featured Juanita, RUX’s former band-in-residence. On Saturday, RUX then took to the stage to host a conversation with Bonnie Prince Billy and The Local Honeys!

RUXers also got to enjoy two hikes throughout the weekend, including a tanglewood ecology excursion with Cowan Community Action Group’s James Stapleton and RUX cohort member & Kentucky Natural Land Trust’s Megan Falce.

We are deeply grateful to our longtime partners at Appalshop for hosting us! It was amazing to go back to the place where RUX started in 2014.
