For three days in June, Laurel Cove Music Festival brought mountain music back to Pineville, Kentucky, with a lineup that reflected the depth and momentum of today's Appalachian music scene.
Artists including The Creekers joined musicians from across Kentucky and the wider region for a weekend shaped by live music, mountain surroundings and the kind of community that only happens when people gather around songs they believe in.
New Frontier marked the 2026 festival with a forest-green and natural five-panel hat made for long days outside and many more shows after the weekend ended.
