Sidelaunch

What an absolute fantastic night! We loved the show! Shjaane Glover was definitely the star and we are all looking forward to seeing him again! Scotty and Stephen told great stories, made us laugh, and we loved them as well! We are looking forward to the next weekend long event in October!

Perfect night for music

Had an amazing night full of laughter and great music at Side Launch. Can honestly recommend checking out their events anywhere. They create a nice atmosphere to hear good music from the songwriters themselves. Can’t wait to get to another event!

Great Venue, Gifted Musicians,

My friend and I had a great time Monday night at SideLaunch. Great Venue! The Musicians/Artists, Robbie, Scotty & Stephen are so vocally and Lyrically gifted. Loved the fact that we could hear them sing :) It was wonderful, so thank you.
If I had one suggestion, It would be to have cards or info on how we could follow them so we can support and enjoy their Music... Cheers!

Side Launch Cafe

Scotty, Steve, and Robbie(Gentle Sparrow) were very entertaining and we loved the stories around each of their lyrics! Also the small intimate venue at Side Launch was great for this type of show! Can’t wait for the October weekend here in C’wood!!

The event it's self was wonderful

The event it's self was wonderful, The Falls in Chilliwack. The one performer was great, though it did say there were going to be a few of them? Also, no one asked for our tkts or checked and two tables of four guests right beside us had not purchased any. Found the organized event was not very organized, said music starts at 7:00, performer started at 6:20 (Glad we got there early or would have missed most) Have been to The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville so we really enjoyed the listening experience once again

Didn't get what we paid for.

We recently attended the Falls Golf Course event. We paid for 2 tix (70.00). We paid to see 3 up and coming performers and were looking forward to the evening.
We sat with Carver (singer) prior to the event, he shared that he was the only performer available. Nice talented singer with a great stage presence. Drinks were pricey, food options were comparable to a night at the fair. Food options were community style, which we were open to, but not the prices that were charged, for a measly Hot dog, cold Burger or small half rack of ribs! With the reduced singer content from 3 as advertised down to 1, the food should have been FREE to make up the difference.
To summarize, we paid 70.00 for tix, 100.00 for drinks, 60.00 for food. If an event like this comes again, we will certainly read the fine print regarding remuneration for not receiving what we paid for.

Only one performance

I attended the event at The Falls golf course in Chilliwack, great location, musician was very talented and hosted well. The event promised 2-3 performers, there was only one this night.

I was very disappointed with the event

I was very disappointed with the event. We had paid for 3 performers and only had one guy on stage. Carver was talented and funny. He did his best to entertain us. However, we didn’t get what we paid for . Also the food was terrible and over priced. The hamburger was cold, cold cheese on it . No options for sides. Way too much money for a hot dog . The ribs were a very small portion. We had been expecting food trucks or something fresh off a BBQ. I would not recommend this company again.

A wonderful night of music and stories.

My Sister & I thoroughly enjoyed the Nashville Nights music with Ashton & Noah August 14,2015 at Thatcher Farms. So talented, and entertaining. We loved our time there, what a beautiful venue. A little trouble hearing because of the speakers, maybe a little tweaking on that but otherwise what a Fantastic Evening. Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful night of music and stories.

Despite the pouring rain, we loved it!!

Despite the pouring rain, we had a great time! Thanks for the much needed tents. Honestly, they saved the event. The performers were so good with amazing voices. Can't wait to do this again. My only suggestion is to maybe have an additional food option like a food truck. The food was good but took a very long time. Just a thought. Thanks again for a fun night.

I attended at a wonderful venue in Colton, OR

I attended at a wonderful venue, Fir Valley Pour House in Colton, OR. The food was great and the servers delivered food and drink all night with smiles. The outdoor seating was also wonderful as the weather was perfect.

My only complaint is that we only had one artist from Nashville. Sawyer was great! Exactly what I expected!
The other artist was local and had never even been to Nashville. He was not nearly at the level of performance as Sawyer. If you advertise 2-3 up and coming artists from Nashville, you need to supply them. Sawyer saved the show.

Absolutely nothing against the venue

Absolutely nothing against the venue - that was amazing and we love spending time here.

However, the bar ran out of whiskey for the signature drink. We were the last to leave which was at 9:05 when it went till 10. We believed this would be a night for dancing socializing with great music but we had to sit outside the venue in order to have any conversation as no one spoke during the music it was definitely more formal than we believed it was going to be for the price we paid.

Reply from Backyard Music Co.

Hi Shannon, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the venue itself!

I do want to clarify a couple of things: our events are described numerous times in the emails, event page, and confirmation details as intimate listening room–style experiences. These nights are designed to showcase the artists and their stories in a quiet, focused setting, rather than as a dance or social event. We understand that not everyone is familiar with this format, which is why we emphasize it so much beforehand.

As for the bar, we don’t manage food or beverage service—that’s handled entirely by the venue. We’ll pass along your feedback about the drink menu, but it’s separate from what we provide.

We truly appreciate you coming out, and we hope this helps give clarity for what our shows are all about. They’re meant for people who want to really connect with the music in a special, intimate way.

A super chill and well-organized night with insanely talented musicians in beautiful, intimate settings. From lush farm vibes to cozy venues, every set felt personal and engaging. Loved hearing the artists’ stories and even some on-the-spot collaborations. Only wish the events were longer (and maybe with a bit more variety in song themes), but overall such a great experience that left us wanting more.

We attended an event at the ridge in St. Albert. The artists were great however the venue needed to up their game a bit.
The event was advertised as a listening room, blue bird cafe style however no one introduced it and everyone in the place just talked through the whole performance.
They only had one bartender on so the wait was long for drinks. They were understaffed for wait staff. We waited over an hour just to get food orders. It was great to have an event like this at a local establishment however a bit more planning would have made for a better experience.

Great idea, poor execution

We were super excited to attend this event. Idea sounded do interesting. Venue was not great for an intimate gathering. Poor set up and unfortunately staff were very overwhelmed. Thought we were going to hear artists from Nashville. One artist was good. Although he could have done more storytelling. Other artist was local that we could have heard anywhere around town. Sound overall was not great. Most patrons would not have been able to even see the performers.
