Cropped Out

Cropped Out is an annual multi-venue music festival in Louisville, Kentucky, organized by James Ardery and Ryan Davis in 2010 to present independent bands and a general DIY scene in a smaller, more affordable setting. While showcasing indie and experimental bands there is also a big emphasis on local Kentucky music and local trades such as music vendors and food trucks. The primary genres featured in the festival are Indie rock and post-punk but deviate into other genres like avant-garde, free jazz, hardcore punk, noise rock and even hip-hop and alternative country. Cropped Out has close ties with Drag City Records, Thrill Jockey Records, Sophomore Lounge among other independent labels.
