===Indie scene=== A Louisville locale that highlights the city's indie scene is [[Bardstown Road]], an area located in the heart of the [[The Highlands, Louisville|Highlands]]. Bardstown Road is known{{by whom|date=October 2024}} for its cultural diversity and local trade. Though it is only about a mile (1.6 km) long, this strip of Bardstown Road constitutes much of the city's culture and diverse lifestyle, contributing to the unofficial "[[Keep Louisville Weird]]" slogan. In downtown Louisville, [[21c Museum Hotel]], a hotel that showcases contemporary art installations and exhibitions throughout its public spaces, and features a red penguin on its roof, is, according to ''The New York Times'', "an innovative concept with strong execution and prompt and enthusiastic service".{{citation needed|date=October 2024}} Louisville is home to a thriving [[indie music scene]] with bands such as [[Love Jones (band)|Love Jones]], [[Tantric (band)|Tantric]], [[Squirrel Bait]], [[Cabin (band)|CABIN]], [[Slint]], [[My Morning Jacket]], [[Houndmouth]], [[Young Widows]] and [[Wax Fang]]. Acclaimed singer-songwriters [[Will Oldham]], who performs under the moniker "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy", is a resident, as was country/rock singer-songwriter [[Tim Krekel]]. Cellist [[Ben Sollee]] splits his time between Louisville and Lexington. Long running rock/jazz fusion band [[NRBQ]] also formed in Louisville in the late 1960s as well as 1980s [[psychobilly]] band [[Bodeco]]. [[Post-grunge]] band [[Days of the New]], at one time including [[Nicole Scherzinger]], formed in Louisville in the mid-1990s. Popular local singer [[Bryson Tiller]] paid homage to Louisville in his chart-topping ''[[T R A P S O U L]]'' with the song "502 Come Up", referencing the city's area code, and rapper [[Jack Harlow]] also calls the city home. Especially catering to Louisville's music scene is 91.9 [[WFPK]] Radio Louisville, a local [[public radio]] station funded, in part, from local listeners.
