The Ranahans

 Get ready for a delightful evening of music, good company, and delectable treats as Thoroughbred Theatre & Wine Bar proudly presents The Ranahans on April 13th from 7-10 pm!

Formed in the vibrant days of Fall 2016, The Ranahans found their roots when Josh Butcher, lead singer and guitarist, returned to Central Kentucky after a stint as a Ranch Cowboy in Bozeman, Montana. The stars aligned, and longtime friend Bil Bratcher, along with Megan Morrell on fiddle, welcomed Josh to create the core trio of what would become a Traditional Country and Western Swing Band.

As the band evolved, so did their lineup, including the addition of legendary Kentucky musician Rex Hart on drums and harmony vocals, and the skilled guitar virtuoso Alan Taylor. Now, in 2024, The Ranahans proudly introduce the talented Lucy Becker, a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, to complete their dynamic ensemble.

In their seven-year journey, The Ranahans have graced countless venues, festivals, and events across Kentucky. Their dedication to preserving and promoting Western Swing Music even earned them a prestigious 'Citation of Achievement' from the Kentucky House of Representatives.

But the excitement doesn't stop there! Join us at Thoroughbred Theatre & Wine Bar on April 13th for a night filled with soulful tunes and world class concessions. Indulge in a selection of mouthwatering food, complemented by a variety of beers and wines, all while enjoying the rich sounds of traditional country and Western swing. Our cozy venue provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of music, laughter, and fantastic flavors.
