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.
Rick’s love affair with music ‘n audio engineering has cultivated an eclectic collection of great musicians from across the genres to grace the barn with their talent. When he finds music that moves him – makes the hair on his arms stand up – he finds a way to lure the performers out to the barn. The dinner tables get pushed back, the lights turned low and the audience comes together in the glory of live performance.
Our patrons have been blessed to hang out with diverse artists such as:
- Singer-songwriter-instrumentalist Molly Tuttle
