New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Distilled in Kentucky," the eight-episode docuseries featuring acclaimed author and Kentucky Poet Laureate Silas House, has commenced production on season one.
Kentucky native House leads viewers on a cultural tour of eight of the Bluegrass State's most esteemed bourbon distilleries, culminating in special musical performances at each location from a variety of emerging Kentucky artists. The series also features colorful cameos and conversations with some of these artists' biggest supporters - who just happen to be some of the most iconic names in music.
"This series is a celebration of artistry, music, heritage, and culture, with season one dedicated to my home state of Kentucky. I want audiences near and far to experience the richness of what this great state has to offer, and there's no one better to tell that story than Silas House. As a New York Times best-selling author, Grammy finalist, state poet-laureate, and passionate native son, he is the perfect guide to the characters, artists, and artisans of Kentucky." -
David Helmers | Producer, Distilled in Kentucky
"We want this to be down-home and laid-back, the kind of show that people can watch to feel calm and comforted by music, conversation between friends, and the art of whiskey-making. I hope that every episode will feel like a big hug accompanied by the history, storytelling, and artistry that our Commonwealth offers like no other place." - Silas House | Award-Winning Author and Kentucky Poet Laureate
