One more breakup song

The music was good but I'm not sure 1.5 hours of breakup songs fit the bill for entertainment on a firday night ? The artists were interactive with audience which helped ease the pain. . Thankyou for everything else and the opportunity to listen to your journey

This event was fantastic

This event was fantastic. Beautiful farm on a summer evening. The 2 musicians were so talented and kind in sharing their stories of songwriting! They were new to each other and they did a great job of instant collaboration! I wish there was more advising of the event, as they traveled far and hope they felt supported by our community!

The venue on the farm was so…

The venue on the farm was so picturesque. The setting was intimate and personable. The quality of the musicians was great. I look forward to more events like this in the future. Thank you so much for providing such a great experience.

Great music, poor showing…

The musician on the night was great and talented! Sadly maybe the event wasn’t advertised enough, so there were very few people, which didn’t make a great atmosphere. Felt bad for him.

Great concept but poorly executed

I felt terrible for the outstanding musician from Nashville who played at the Blacksteer Steakhouse in Bend, OR on July 25th. The event was poorly advertised and there were only about 10 people attending the set we joined for.

To make matters worse, the bar and restaurant were in a separate room and there was no effort, signage or announcements by the staff to move customers into the area where the musician was set up.

The location is also terrible which I'm sure contributed to the low turnout.

I highly recommend Backyard Music look for a new venue to host these events in Bend as it is such a great idea and could be really successful in this rapidly growing town. Hawkeye and Huckleberry Lounge would actually be an amazing venue. It's a very popular place, is centrally located, has a country theme and has a stage set up for live music.

Well worth the money…fantastic experience.

Well organized event that was intimate and enjoyable. Great artists were chosen that were local but also super talented. Only wish was that the event could have lasted longer as it was such a pleasurable evening with great music set in the backdrop of a lush working farm…truly was Nashville at the farm!

This was such a fantastic experience!

This was such a fantastic experience!
I came across this the day of the show and bought tickets. At the time they were $35 each and the information on who would be at the show wasn’t listed but we thought it sounded cool so we decided to give it a shot. It was so good ! The two artists we had were fantastic ! If this comes back I’m definitely going again !

Enjoyed the intimate outdoor show

Enjoyed the intimate outdoor show. Great setting on the farm and the artists provided some excellent talent and enjoyed them. Acoustic can be difficult to really capture the song as recorded and yet they did a great job. Their voices and song writing is going to bring them much success in the future. Would love to see them with some added band members as well. Their stories, talent and personalities make for an evening that i am glad i attended. Looking forward to another evening like this again.

Overall an enjoyable evening

Overall an enjoyable evening! Jade Hilton and Sean Costello were entertaining and had great voices. Loved the casual vibe of the venue, the lineup, and the artists. The stories told were fun and sometimes sad. Thank you for a great time.

Incredible event partner, outstanding talent and turn-key coordination!

As the venue hosting two back-to-back concerts, we were very impressed with the coordination and attention to detail Backyard Music Co delivered. They made our event collaboration simple yet thorough, and the artists brought in to perform for our guests were extraordinary!
This is a very professional and unique offering, and we're already planning our next one! Well done, BMC!

Buying tickets last minute turned out to be a wonderful event …

I came across the ad promoting Backyard Music Company and its Nashville artists just hours before showtime. I bought two tickets just because I like Listening Room shows and my wife and I agree that the singer songwriters last night at Firehouse #2 in Wilmington were excellent. We truly enjoyed the entire set over the two hour show; well done everyone!

Backyard Music & Port Stanley well done!

Overall good job by Scotty and his troops, the event hosts - especially Hill St and Wildflower Farm! Bit of a hiccup in the lead up promotions - I got several daily notifications all pointing to an unchanged web advert but no updates and no lineups. Also what was advertised for the weekend VIP pass wasn’t delivered but the music was great, the hospitality was wonderful and the intimate setting of Port Stanley with venues mostly close together made for a delightful weekend!

Reply from Backyard Music Co.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts—and for being part of the festival! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the music, the venues, and the overall vibe in Port Stanley. It means a lot to our whole team, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to the Hill Street and Wildflowers hosts.

Regarding the VIP pass: everything advertised for VIP was indeed delivered, including exclusive access to multiple private events, complimentary appetizers at the Windjammer, mimosas at the rooftop brunch, and VIP-only rounds and afterparties with some of our top artists. We totally understand it may not have been perfectly clear in advance, and that’s something we’ll improve next year—clearer communication and more real-time updates are definitely on our radar.

Thanks again for joining us and for your honest feedback—it helps us grow. We hope to see you again soon at another Backyard Music Co. experience!

Warmly,
Scotty + The BYMC Team
