- To Assist Venues: To help venues discover amazing new artists who are sure to entertain their target audiences and keep them coming back.
- To Empower Independent Artists: To assist independent artists with bookings, promotions, and more. We tailor our support to meet your specific needs. If there's something we can't handle ourselves, we'll connect you with someone who can!
- To Increase Accessibility: To bring live music to new areas, away from inner cities, recognizing that many disabled people struggle with traveling to these locations. Smaller shows at more locations will make live music accessible to those who would otherwise struggle to take part for a number of reasons.
- To Encourage Social Inclusion: Loneliness is a major issue in today's society and can be caused by a number of factors. We want to ensure that everyone attending our shows, whether alone or in company, feels welcome and included. If you have any concerns that may stop you from attending, please get in touch, and we will do our utmost to ensure you have the best experience.

We hold a special place in our hearts for the music and people from Kentucky and the wider Appalachian region.
We were first introduced to this magical place by our friend Stevie O'Connor in January 2018 when he covered a Tyler Childers song at the opening of a new BBQ venue not far from us, and we were instantly hooked.
Thanks to Stevie
We hold a special place in our hearts for the music and people from Kentucky and the wider Appalachian region.
We were first introduced to this magical place by our friend Stevie O'Connor in January 2018 when he covered a Tyler Childers song at the opening of a new BBQ venue not far from us, and we were instantly hooked.
Thanks to Stevie and his incredible wife Lucy, his manager, inspiration, and most importantly, the mother of his children, we were introduced to other Appalachian artists and members of the Kentuckian & West Virginian music community.
Many of these introductions came through a Facebook group, Honky Tonk Heroes and it's founder JJ Waters.
We were immediately impressed not only by the sheer talent of the musicians but also by the unwavering support they and the community around them showed for one another.
There are many other people instrumental to making us fall in love with all things Appalachian, amongst them Kentucky native Lance Rogers, a singer/songwriter we connected with through Honky Tonk Heroes in late 2019.
How we went from that point to Lance now not only being an integral part of For The Love Of Appalachia but a dear friend is a story for another time because we have tickets for a tour to list!
APPALACHIA ON TOUR, our first tour since the launch of KD Music Media in December 2024 starts 15th February 2025, with Lance Rogers, Hunter Flynn & Daniel Cain. LET'S GO!!!!!!
