Six decades. One sound.

Our story

Started with harmony. Kept going for the people.

The Monarchs began with a few friends, a shared love of vocal harmony and a stage at the local hall. Sixty-plus years later the lineup has changed, the stages have gotten bigger, and the promise has stayed the same: great songs, played live, with heart.
Today The Monarchs play everything from intimate private parties to festival main stages across Kentucky and neighboring states. Whatever the room, the goal is to leave it a little louder, a little happier and a lot more full of singing.
