Saturday nights at The Rustic Barn are guaranteed a great time, with an incredible owner and helpful staff it’s safe to say they are always going above and beyond for patrons and have smiles on faces while doing so. The Rustic barn is tucked into the back end of Troy, NY and is always full of local deadheads and rye bread heads which is my favorite crowd to be in! Live music every week is always bringing in new people to check out the barn, and I can’t think of a better reason to come out.

Laura Leigh started the night with an acoustic solo set full of beautiful originals that set a welcoming tone for the night. Next up is The Big Happy; coming all the way in from Long Island, New York this funk rock 4 piece brought all the vibes !! They were able to deliver the perfect balance of original music and smash hits to keep everyone’s attention. The dance floor was really popping off all night, pulling in different people for every song which is exactly what I like to see; a little something for everyone. Overall it was such a successful night for these guys keeping the barn rocking all night! Very excited and hopeful to catch these guys again!
