Have you ever gone to a show or a festival and there’s that one name on the bill that you have never heard of and they end up being the dark horse of the lineup? Well, over the Memorial Day weekend I attended a small festival in “Almost Indiana” (Warsaw, KY) and that was where Shelby Lore became my dark horse. Honestly, I didn’t know if it was a female or male, solo artist or band. But it didn’t take long for me to figure out that he, Shelby Lore, was a highly anticipated act that weekend. His name seemed to be on everyone’s lips leading up to that Saturday afternoon set. Attendees and artists alike all reminisced on what a talented guitar player Shelby is and what an energetic show he and his bandmates, Luke Estep and Tyler Kiser, put on. My friends were not wrong. In no time, Shelby and the band had the crowd on their feet - smiling, singing, dancing and cheering. I also overheard lots of folks getting excited for his upcoming album to be released. That album, Great Unknown, dropped over the weekend (July 10) and now you can see for yourself what all the buzz is about.
