Lexington was a hotbed of musical activity in the 60s and 70s, from the Swingin' Shed (okay, that was closer to Richmond) to Miss Eva and Teen Town. I'd like to add a history of all the bands with a Lexington connection during those decades (and beyond). If you have any pictures or stories, please email them to Tim Coulter.

Bands with more information (and photos or videos) have their own page. Click on the band's name if it's highlighted to go to its page. If you were a member of one of these bands (or simply have some information) please let me know (timcoulter@me.com).
