A two-day music festival is set to kick off in Ashland, Kentucky, this weekend.

The Paramount Arts Center will host the first FoxFire Music & Arts Festival from 3-11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, according to a news release. The festival will feature 14 bans and visual artists from around the country, including Whiskey Myers, Blues Traveler and Old Crow Medicine Show.

The lineup also includes Lucero, Ona, Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle, Eric Bolander, Laid Back Country Picker, Patrick Leland McKnight, Morgan Wade, John R. Miller, Shelby Lore, The Devin Hale Band and Cole Chaney.

Organizers said the festival pays tribute to the late Jean Bell-Thomas, who staged the first American Folk Song Festival at her home in Boyd county in 1930.

“Many people don’t realize that Ashland is one of the birth places for music festivals in our country,” Holly Canfield, executive director of the Paramount said in the news release. “The American Folk Song Festival was the first of its kind.”

At the beginning of Bell-Thomas’s festival, she would blow a fox horn that was given to her by Devil Anse Hatfield. The Paramount has partnered with the Highland’s Museum to secure the fox horn used by Bell-Thomas and plans to continue her tradition, according to the news release.

“We were originally calling our event the FoxHorn Festival, but it just didn’t have that certain ring to it,” Canfield said. “We finally settled on FoxFire – a tribute to the past and a new beginning for music festivals in Ashland, we hope it will catch on like wildfire.”

Doors for the festival will open at 2 p.m. each day. Tickets are available starting at $39.99. Click here for more information.
