the burgin barn

The Burgin Barn was the highlight of my trip! I was going to Kentucky with the idea that I wanted to hear some good old tyme country music and to play my fiddle with a country band! Well Tommy, the owner of the Burgin Barn made that happen! What a great place. It's a small place that probably seats about 100, with comfortable theatre like seating. If you show up around 6pm there is a "pot luck" spread put on that locals have all contributed too with sandwiches, salads, and Tommy (if you're lucky) has made his awesome Apple Dumplings (yummy). The show starts around 7pm (ONLY ON FRIDAYS) and includes the house band The Kentucky Strangers with guest performers that get up to perform. It will take you back to the old days when country music really sounded like country music! It's $10 to get in for a 2 - 3 hour show (and includes your dinner). And the people at the barn are very welcoming and so friendly! I think by the end of the night I had spoken to each of them! Definitely include this on your trip to Kentucky - it's a wonderful night! I can't wait to go back.
