Live-music venues worth the trip in Mount Vernon, Kentucky

Renfro Valley Entertainment Center is a two-theater music venue on Richmond Street in Mount Vernon with roots in a 1939 barn dance, and its New Barn Theatre has “a cozy 1,500-seat layout spanning from the front row to the balcony”. Its own site says, “Great music of all genres ring from the rafters of our two unique show theaters throughout the year.”
