Shitty Barn Sessions - May 16

Next Wednesday I have the great honor of playing at the Shitty Barn in Spring Green, WI. This was originally scheduled as a split bill with Madison's Nick Brown, but Nick broke his picking-hand thumb last week and had to cancel. Juniper Tar, a great band from Milwaukee, will be filling out the bill now. I'm making this my Madison 12 show for May. Don't miss it.

Here's some more info on the Shitty Barn:


WHAT:Audience and performer coexist in an intimate and integrated space with as little separating instruments and ears as possible. No stage. Stripped down. Pure music love. Like having the performance in your living room (except, in this case, a sh*tty barn).

WHO:We strive for a varied selection of emerging artists from a number of genres. If you’re a band or performer and interested in being a part of the Shitty Barn Sessions, holler here.

WHERE: 506 E. Madison St. Spring Green, WI 53588 Just a short, scenic drive from Madison; Spring Green is nestled in the inspirational hills of southwest Wisconsin. All performances are pre-ticketed. A few songs will be taped for posterity and put up HERE for your viewing pleasure.

WHEN:Spring. Summer. Fall. Start at 6 with a hot grill, associated condiments, and paper plates (BYO grillables). Please no alcoholic beverage carry-ins. We have a cash bar serving beer and wine.

MUSIC FROM 7 - 9pm. You will have a guaranteed spot on The Sh*tty Barn concrete floor. There is limited seating, but plenty of floor space.

BYO lawnchair or blanket if you prefer to keep your jeans clean. All performances will be recorded and archived. This is a family-friendly event. 6yrs +.

30 Minute Music Hour

A couple of weeks ago I went into the Wisconsin Public Television studios to record 30 Minute Music Hour, hosted by Andy Moore. Ida Jo joined me on violin and vocals. We had a blast, and it turned out really well. You can watch the whole show below.

Watch Corey Hart on PBS. See more from 30-MINUTE MUSIC HOUR.
