It's become a favorite treat to relive the last few shows via the incredible images Ryah Heart Photo captures for us - true talent that one.

We love it when bands want to come back & play again & it was so good to have Lynn Taylor and the Barflies do just that! The late nite jam session in The Tack Room was one of those moments we dreamed of when we were scheming up the place. We love it & are glad so many of y'all do too!

If you want on our mailing list to keep abreast of future merriments, dm us your email!

You ever have a moment where you step back and think WOW, remember this? Well, that was last Saturday night at The Tack Room gathered in our low lit haven with some of my favorite people listening to Timbo sing while his wife leaned against the door jam, smiling.

I could wax on about the evening, but I'll let these amazing pictures speak for themselves. We had our first bonafide photog out to shoot the show & lordy is she talented. Find her on IG under ryahheartphoto.

Our next gathering, and our first outdoors show of the year, is Saturday, April 29th with The Barflies. Come hang, bring the wee ones, and we'll all sway to music under the moonlight while the bonfire and our brand new neon Miller sign light up the tableau of joyous faces. Pm us your email if you want on our mailing list!

Hope to see y'all out at The Tack Room at Riverplains Farm next weekend! SAT MARCH 25th will be our first show of the year. We're hoping for a big crowd and praying for good weather! ☀️

"Timbo's brand of music showcases his traditional influences — country with rhythm & blues perhaps shining through most prevalent of all. There is a modern feel to his approach; his delivery of melody is unique, his band's style suited to their own interpretation. Timbo's style has been described as 'Soul Country'."

Yes, Timbo is a staple performer at Robert’s on Lower Broad in Nashville — crooning the classics and wowing the tourists — but he’s also an accomplished songwriter and stylist. Needless to say, we are fans and honored to have him perform at The Tack Room.

You can look forward to Mama Lana's Kitchen, once again serving their delicious, from-scratch Mexican food (they use only non-gmo, organic and local-when-possible ingredients!). As always, if you want adult libations, please BYOB.

SAVE THE DATE: SAT MARCH 25TH ✨ Our first show of 2023 will be one to remember as we welcome for the first time the real, live, H***y Tonk Hero known as Timbo. He hails from Nashville where he was born and raised and carries on a deep musical tradition. For his first visit this spring he'll be solo but plans are already in the works for him to return late summer with a full band (and yes, two-stepping will be mandatory at that point!).

So, check out his recordings and videos and tell your friends. More info on the way!

It has been a while since Feathered Mason (Eric Davis) has graced the stage at The Tack Room — we are very excited for this overdue, impromptu set! (Albeit he is always there in one supporting role or another: soundman, sideman, lightman, electrician…thank you, Eric!) Part of Eric's mystique is his bloodline: Midwestern father and French (Parisian) mother. His mother Martine will be here for this show and amazingly, his uncle Jean-Jacques and cousin Lora will be visiting from Paris! On his many trips to France as a child Eric got to know his twin uncles’ folk duo act quite well and they provided an indelible influence. We’re excited to welcome the French contingent to The Tack Room at Riverplains Farm.

Multi-instrumentalist-magician Jason Goforth will be in our midst again, rounding out the trio for the Jennifer Jane Niceley set and backing up Eric, too. We predict some special guest musicians to sit in on the Feathered Mason set as well...maybe a little metamorphosis into some Flat Lambrusco country tunes! 🔥

Once again we welcome the always outstanding Mama Lana's
as our Food Stand ~ expect something special!

Hope you will join us out here for one more festive evening in the country before the turn of the year. We look forward to seeing you!

We all talked the next day about the gratitude we felt after such an evening - thank you all for being part of the experience with us! The late nite fireside music & clogging jam will live long in our memories & we're already planning our next show for December 3rd. Stay tuned!

Hi Friends!

To all who made it out to our last concert, thank you!! It was another beautiful and festive evening in the country under a bright full moon. We were blessed with amazing music, a cheerful crowd and great food. Now we’re looking forward to our next event, Friday November 11, 2022. Still have a few details to confirm, but please save the date! We’re excited to welcome a wonderful duo called The Resonant Rogues — they’re from just over in North Carolina and have been super busy, definitely on a roll. Check out their page and all the great videos! Opening set by Jennifer Jane Niceley✨ Doors will open at 6pm, $15 cover (cash only). More details soon!

29/09/2022

Well y'all, we've got the details together for our show on the 8th!

Doors will open at 6, we'll have a bonfire going & Mama Lana's Kitchen serving up chili & cornbread & other goodies. BYOB on the hard stuff as usual.

Cover is $10 with kids 12 & under free.

Lucy Lightening will be opening at 630 & Paddy in the Smokies will begin playing their fiddle tunes at 730. The band is made up of Gil Draper (Guitar, Bouzouki, Tenor Banjo), Chad Beauchaine (Fiddle) and Dylan Foley (Fiddle, Guitar). Chad and Gil are long time members of Four Leaf Peat which is one of the regions best known traditional Irish bands and Dylan Foley is a world renowned fiddler and multiple All-Ireland fiddle champion from New York now living in Nashville. Although this is not a formal band, these guys have played a lot of music together in the Irish session scene and bring a lot of expertise and energy to their performances! Get ready to tap those toes!

As always, all the money goes to the band. Tell your friends & see y'all on the 8th!

18/09/2022

Well, y'all after a bit of a breather after our magical show in July, The Tack Room is back & rearing to go with a return of Paddy in the Smokies on Saturday, October 8th.

If you were one of the lucky ones who saw these Irish fiddlin' boys on the farm last fall then you know that you better be wearing thick soled shoes for all the foot tappin' that's going to happen once they rosin up their bows.

We'll have some warm & hearty food for sale per usual & will update y'all once we have the menu set.

We cannot wait to see everyone & stand round the fire in the moonlight while fiddles sing & children giggle. We're hopeful we'll have a return of the interpretive glow stick dancing preformed by the wee ones at the last event.

Save the date for October 8th & tell your friends to do so too! See y'all then!

22/07/2022

A few pics from last Saturday night and a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out! You were a very generous crowd in so many ways, and we can't wait to have you back again!
