New Website, New Ticketing Partners, NEW SHOW!!!

Lots of new stuff from The Barn these days...

We are happy to introduce some changes to our website to keep you informed, up-to-date and engaged with The Barn and its community.  By combining aspects of our blog with the information from our main site, we hope to offer a dynamic, multimedia web experience that allows our fans to relive our past events and get pumped for the next gig.  Visit soon to read a summary, view photos and listen or download the music from Mr. Blotto and Little Big Fat on December 12 and check back often for more news and views.  Of course, you're welcome to join in the conversation with suggestions or views of your own in our comments sections.

In addition, The Barn has a new ticketing partner:  Brown Paper Tickets.  Let me assure you, TicketMaster it ain't!  Just like us, they are inspired by their own experiences as consumers of tickets and attendees of events, and they're trying to do it organically and personally, unbound by the demands of shareholders or venture capitalists.  They even have a Ticketing Bill of Rights and donate 5% of their profits to charitable organizations involved with human rights, children, animals, and the environment -- and that makes us smile.

But would any of this matter if we didn't have a new show to promote?  We're gearing up to throw a rip roaring birthday party for one of the most universally beloved music icons:  Bob Marley.  On Saturday, February 6th, with help from the Midwest''s finest reggae band, The Ark Band, The Barn will offer a memorable night of music to celebrate the life and enduring legacy of a true game changer and musical force.  On a mid-winter night, let The Ark Band bring you far away:  to the sunshine and decidedly different pace of the Caribbean.  We'll have plenty of the Red Stripe on hand, some hot Marley tunes courtesy of the band, and at great crowd ready to keep the party going well into the night.  Bring your smile and your dancing shoes and we'll see you in February.
