Being that the show was an hour, we paid for parking 1.5 hrs, however due to streaming issues we had to leave early before the show even really started. the guest finally started playing so those of us that were there were at least entertained. He was good, but couldn't really enjoy it. If you need to use the restroom, leave yourself a trail so you can find your way back.

Be there as the local npr affiliate records a weekly bluegrass concert! Host has the ultimate radio voice, musicians with incredible talent and expertise right there ten feet in front of your folding chair. We loved spending their break chatting about their music, their careers - not like some huge Opry concert!

We happened to stumble across Red Barn, decided to give it a shot, and were delighted we did. The quick skinny -- Red Barn is a performing arts center and art gallery that, among other things, hosts a live bluegrass radio show that is webcast every Wednesday. The music we heard was great, and you're essentially right on stage (more accurately, the floor) on folding chairs some 15-20 feet from the band, so it's a very intimate concert, too. It's quirky, to say the least -- there were maybe 12-15 of us in the audience, the refreshments included brownies, pizza and coffee, and the host is about as low-key as it gets -- but they take their bluegrass very seriously and, from everything we could tell, put on a quality web cast. And an $8 ticket cost for what amounts to your own personal concert, from a national-quality band, is the bargain of the century. One of the true off the beaten path stops in Lexington, but if you're a bluegrass fan, it's very well worth it.

This is a very cool opportunity! The host is great, the caliber of musical guests is fantastic. It is very cool to be behind the scenes and 'see' a live recording of a radio show.
