The Luse Lounge is the Madam Carroll’s new dockside “boat bar” operation aptly named in commemoration of Madam Carroll founder, Bill Luse Sr. and family. The lounge operates just like a normal bar, out of the Madam Carroll while she is dockside.
Simply head to the boat, make your way onto the vessel, and enjoy a cocktail on the water without worrying about cruise departure and return times. You don’t have to take a cruise to enjoy some brews! Our main lounge (the first main floor) is cool and equipt with AC for the summer and Heat in the winter, but feel free to explore the views from the rest of the boat including a shaded upper deck and a 3rd top deck with some amazing views!

Event Details
Born in the heart of Kentucky, Ernie “Sticktight” Akins has had an infatuation for music since he started walking. The name Sticktight came from Country Music Superstar, John Michael Montgomery. When visiting John at his farm, a two year old Ernie Akins was exploring in the woods and emerged covered in sticktights. John found it humorous and said, “Boy, we’re going to have to start calling you, ‘Sticktight’”. Since then, “Sticktight” has stuck!
Sticktight grew up listening to radio and chart topping icons such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, Montgomery Gentry, and well as legendary Blues, Classic & Southern Rock Bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. When performing, you can hear these influences blended into one giving Sticktight a sound of his own.
