Welcome everybody. It is the KSR pre-show. It's Friday, June the 6th.

Shannon the Dude being joined this morning by Ryan Lemon, and we are live in Somerset at the Virginia Theater.

We'll tell you all of the stuff that's happening out here. A lot of stuff happening in Somerset.

Really cool venue. We'll talk about it in just a minute. But first, let me tell you that you can give us a call in the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line at 859-280-2287.

You can be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day. And the KSR pre-show is always being brought to you by

Italics. Fine Italian dining in Lexington. We are here in Somerset. And what a cool venue this is. The Virginia originally built back in 1922 as a movie theater, and it served as a movie

house until 1994 when an ice storm caused the building's roof to collapse.

They forced it to close.

But then just, I think, a few years ago, they renovated this place, and what an amazing venue

they have here in Somerset.

You know, a lot of these communities, you know know even the ones that I grew up in you've got that one theater where you all

went to watch movies well that's what was this Virginia is that's what it was for Somerset

and this is phenomenal what they've done with it Deja Lyle is the manager out here they have

concerts they have shows they have your concert tonight. But it is beautiful when you get inside here.

Yeah. And they, you know, you can see parts that have not been renovated, which I think is cool because it gives it a sort of, I don't know, like a rustic feel to it.

It does. After the ambiance of it.

So, you know, they renovated it, but they also kept the history of it too, which is really cool. So what an amazing place to have in a little small town like Somerset.

It's beautiful.

When you walk in the doors, you get that feeling you have, you're going into this old theater,

then you walk in here and it's all modernized.

You know, light, sound system, everything is brand new.

And I can't wait to come to your concert tonight right here on the stage.
