PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - The Paducah Symphony Orchestra teams with the Lower Town Neighborhood Association again this year to bring a mix of fresh faces and local favorites to the 2013 Lower Town Arts & Music Festival which will be held May 17, 18 and 19.

In a series of announcements over the next two weeks, confirmed bands for the Festival will be released. On Saturday night, May 18, Blind Corn Liquor Pickers will play at 8 p.m. on the main stage.

On Friday night, May 17, Blue Mother Tupelo will perform at 7 p.m. on the main stage.

Raised on rock-and-roll and trained in Kentucky bluegrass, the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers have been living on the ragged edge of the genre for over a decade now, playing what one clever critic dubbed "revisionist bluegrass".
