Sometimes we even surprise ourselves. On the heels of three great shows at the Mambo Room, The Barn is preparing to bring the party to a new venue this spring.
Starting in May, we cross the border into Brookfield and plan two shows at the legendary Brixie's. Quite simply, this venue is an institution. For 76 years, this family owned establishment has served revelers from Brookfield, La Grange and beyond, with fine service, an impeccable selection of beverages and a room that provides just the right configuration and ambiance for taking in music and socializing with good friends.
This year, the management is giving the Brixie’s tradition a kick in the pants. With a new look inside, a full service kitchen serving up a creative, diverse and delectable menu, and a burgeoning partnership with The Barn, now is the time to experience all that this great room has to offer.
You know what goes good with incredible live music? Beer. And Brixie’s offers 32 beers on tap and 100 more varieties in the bottle. They treat beer as with the reverence and respect that centuries old brewing traditions have earned. Friendly bartenders will be happy to make a recommendation for that you won’t find anywhere else in the area. So, while tipping back a Dogfish Head Chicory Stout or SKA Modus Hoperandi, you can enjoy the best quality live music experience in the Western Suburbs.
We can think of no better way to christen the new venue with with two incredible new shows -- we absolutely love these bands! This is quintessential Barn music.
On Saturday, May 15th, we are proud to present Big Sky String Band -- five guys committed to taking acoustic and Americana music to the the places that rock fans love.
On Saturday, June 19th, The Steepwater Band will take the stage at Brixie's. TSB just spent the spring opening for Gov't Mule across the Midwest and gigging Europe with Marc Ford (Black Crowes); they have returned to Chicago to bring their firebrand mixture of delta blues, soulful boogie and backwoods psychedelia to the hometown crowd.
Please continue to visit our website over the next couple of weeks (or become a fan on facebook for more frequent updates), we'll have some great features on each of these bands and link you up to some of the audio and video content that you've come to expect from The Barn. We'll still be bringing all of the Barn's trademarks you've come to love -- advance ticket sales, high quality production values and an emphasis on the fan experience -- to shows at Brixie's, and they're 100% committed to realizing our vision.
See you at Brixie's.
