WHY DUBS & ALES?

People have asked me, “Why a game night?”

The answer is simple.

Some of my best memories growing up weren’t made in clubs or on social media. They were made sitting around a table playing spades, dominoes, laughing, talking trash, sharing stories, building friendships, and strengthening community.

Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost a little of that.

I wanted to create an event that brings people back together. A place where adults can unplug, reconnect, meet new people, and simply enjoy each other’s company in a positive atmosphere.

But Dubs & Ales is about more than cards and dominoes.

Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship secured, every raffle ticket sold helps support the Kentucky Institute for Music Industry Development (KIMID).

After spending decades in the music industry, I’ve been blessed to experience opportunities that changed my life. I also know how many talented people never get those same opportunities—not because they lack talent, but because they lack access, mentorship, and guidance.

That’s why I started KIMID.

Our vision is to help develop Kentucky’s next generation of artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, managers, and creative entrepreneurs by connecting them with real-world education and industry experience.

So when you come to Dubs & Ales, you’re not just coming to play games.

You’re helping invest in someone’s dream.

You’re helping build Kentucky’s creative future.

You’re helping prove that when a community comes together, everybody wins.

So grab your favorite game partner, invite your friends, and come catch a dub with us.
