A Word About Prizes

You may have noticed from our poster that we are offering prizes for "best and worst" performances at Live Band Karaoke at The Mambo Room on Saturday, March 13. Perhaps you are curious as to what exactly this means. This was intentionally left ambiguous to (a) give us some time to figure it out and (b)...

Hometown Pride

Nothing about music or karaoke in this post, but I did want to link to this story that was featured in Friday's Tribune.I think it sums up our town quite nicely -- a cozy village with cosmopolitan flair. Glad The Barn can be a part of it.

We've Got A Ticket To Ride (And Why You Should Care)

At The Barn, we know how good it feels to hold that ticket to an upcoming concert. At various times, we've camped out for tickets (remember those days?), frantically dialed through endless busy-signals, meticulously followed complicated mail-order instructions (and decorated those envelopes just-in-case), and navigated multiple broswer windows and "virtual waiting rooms" on onsale day,...
