Music in the Barn

Rustic Acoustics

The custom of playing music in a barn has been a lively part of American rural life since the 19th century. The acoustics of this post-and-beam barn make it an absolute pleasure to continue the tradition.

Check out our current lineup below ‘n be sure to stay tuned as we are always adding more. 

Tickets may be purchased by calling the restaurant directly.  All tickets are to be paid in advance and are non-refundable.

We are grateful that you are here to support this establishment, local farms, and these talented artists.  As bookings demand, we reserve the right to combine parties for efficient seating to ensure that these artists are compensated appropriately. 

Thank you for understanding.
