There's nothing like some free live country music to draw a crowd in Louisville, which is why 4th Street Live! brings a variety of up-and-coming or down-and-trying-to-come-back country artist as part of their Hot Country Nights series. For the July 6 show, that would be Central Kentucky native Erika Martin & Kickstart, along with Southern Indiana native Rachel Timberlake, Even though Martin and company sing plenty of rock 'n' roll, it all works within the context of current country. Both artists are on up-and-coming side of things, so it could be a chance to catch them before something bigger comes along.
