About Fiddle & Furlong

Fiddle & Furlong is a celebration of Kentucky culture: the music, the horses, the bourbon, the food and the people who keep it all going. We bring together the latest Kentucky headlines from newsrooms near and far, and publish announcements from the businesses, makers and organizations that make the state tick.

Why the name

A fiddle for the music that put Kentucky on the map, and a furlong, an eighth of a mile, for the racing that keeps it there.

What you will find

Headlines on music, horses, bourbon, food, arts and heritage, a guide to the state’s culture in facts and figures, and press releases from Kentucky and beyond.

What we are

Fiddle & Furlong is an independent online publication. We gather the headlines that matter to our readers from newsrooms near and far, link straight to the original reporting, and publish announcements from companies and organizations, each one clearly labelled Press Release.
