Had a great night last night with fellow Yelpers at Red Barn Radio at ArtPlace! My niece's…read morebluegrass band, the Slaw Shredders, had the evening to themselves and put on an incredible performance! https://youtu.be/Xv5OErgsPSY If you like live music, but you've never been to Red Barn Radio, you owe it to yourself to go. Check their calendar and find a genre of music that appeals to you. Then you can buy tickets online or pay at the door. The shows are ten bucks, quite inexpensive for the experience you get. In its 18th year, Red Barn is produced by filmmaker Ed Commons, who has a fantastic eye/ear for upcoming talent.

His interview style is laid back and friendly and his interviews always add insight into the evening's entertainment Originally established in 1904 as a YMCA, in 1979 ArtsPlace, was founded after extensive renovations to 161 North Mill Street. It now functions as a music studio, performance space, and art gallery. As the show is broadcast live, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: * Try to arrive on time * Don't be surprised if you have cameras, tripods, and camera operators obscuring your view from time to time * Be enthusiastic with your applause, but keep your mouth shut while the performers are doing their thing. Red Barn Radio is largely an unknown Lexington treasure! Get out there and support it! Not sure about going? Check out Red Barn's YouTube site where they've archived hundreds of shows from the last 18 years.
