Kevin Gibson

Kevin Gibson is a Louisville, Ky.-based free-lance writer who writes about everything from food to music to beer to bourbon to goings-on in the great city he lives on. He loves bacon, loathes cucumbers and once interviewed Yoko Ono (pissed her off a little, too) . He is author of "100 Things to Do in Louisville Before You Die" (2016, Reedy Press) and "Louisville Beer: Derby City History on Draft" (2014, History Press) , along with two other books, plus two more in the works. He has won numerous awards for his writing, but he doesn't know where most of them are these days. In addition, he co-hosts a weekly local radio show, and also plays in a band called the Uncommon Houseflies. The rest of the time, you might find him taking a walk with his trusty sidekick Darby or watching reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show."
