It occurs to me that you've got to really love concerts to attempt to put one on. Most people are pretty much content just going to see shows, and aren't compelled to start booking bands and putting up posters around town.
Admittedly, we at The Barn love concerts. That may be putting it mildly. We've got live music pulsing through our veins and this has somehow translated to a steadfast belief that we can do this... That we can do better and we can do it locally.
And why not? With thousands of hours invested criss-crossing the country, experiencing music in venues big and small, and taking in the highs and lows of each event we have attended, we've got a pretty good idea of what makes a successful show. Now, our objective is to bring it on home.
And so, please mark your calendar for December 12th. We are thrilled to announce The Barn's inaugural show featuring Mr. Blotto and special guests Little Big Fat.
We wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think we can do it right. Knowing these bands, the music will be off the hook, and we've got an incredible venue lined up. It's exciting to think that we're doing something that's never quite been done before in La Grange.
We'll use this blog to provide all the vitals up until, and then after, the event. You'll get The Barn's take on the artists, some thoughts about what its like to put on a show for the first time, and of course, lots of music, pictures and video to capture a slice of what a Barn event is really like.
