LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 27, 2026) — The Southwest Louisville Concert Series returns on Saturday, August 1st, bringing another evening of live music, family fun, and community excitement to the JCTC Southwest Campus. The free concert will feature Kentucky country artist JD Shelburne headlining the event and special guest Brock Shoemaker opening the show, with music beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Fans can expect an energetic performance as Shelburne takes the stage with his full Nashville band for a rockin’ night of country music. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and enjoy an evening outdoors with family and friends.

The Southwest Louisville Concert Series is about much more than live music. It is about families gathering together, children dancing, neighbors reconnecting, and celebrating everything that makes Southwest Louisville special. The series also shines a spotlight on local parks, artists, food trucks, small businesses, and the strong sense of community that continues to grow throughout the area.
“We’re proud to be part of an event that brings people together and showcases Southwest Louisville in such a positive way,” said Shelburne. “These are the kinds of community events that create lasting memories and we are grateful to be asked to perform at this event.”
Shelburne is no stranger to the Louisville area, having performed hundreds of concerts in the heart of derby city. He’s played over 3,000 shows, made his Grand Ole Opry Debut, earned 9 straight music videos on CMT, released 7 albums, reached the iTunes Country Top Ten, opened for 70 national acts including ZZ Top and recorded with Grammy Award Winners, Crystal Gayle and The Oak Ridge Boys!
Organizers extend their sincere appreciation to 91.9 WFPK, Louisville Parks & Recreation, the Metro Councilmembers, and the many volunteers and partners working behind the scenes to make this vision a reality.
The Southwest Louisville Concert Series continues to provide free, family-friendly entertainment while strengthening community connections and supporting local businesses and organizations.
