Lexington-based band Joslyn and the Sweet Compression tours with Tower of Power.

On this week’s edition of Eastern Standard: Kentucky cities with zoning laws and planning units are required by the state to develop a five year Comprehensive Plan. 2022 is Lexington’s “refresh” year and in partnership with CivicLex we begin a series on all of the issues. Plus: a call for serious support for the music of Eastern Kentucky, some artists who have broken out on the national scene, others who are working their way up and a new festival to showcase the talents of the region. And, a Lexington band makes the big time: opening on New York and Philadelphia stages for the 50th anniversary tour of powerhouse funk & soul band Tower of Power.
