Backyard Music Co. Arvostelua 

First off, looking forward to the list or artists from the weekend, the artist did not disappoint. Artists/songwriters were awesome. Great energy and talent.

Stage at Kaytoo did not have great sight lines. Drinks were not cold there.

October 3rd to October 5th. The service at the venues was very disappointing. Service was under staffed, long wait to get a drinks, our food order was forgotten by at Kaytoo and at Black Bellows. This is a horrible reflection on the event coordinators and the management at bars. Some inconsistency in the mixed drinks

tails at Black Bellows, same drink came different 3 times, unacceptable.
Definitely some improvements to make for the next festival. Extremely fortunate for the good weather. The event would have been a disaster in the rain.

We had a blast as a group. However the venues were not adequate for this aside from side launch.

Bent taco didn’t have enough seating or enough staff. Only 3 bathrooms left you in long lines and ran out of beers.

Black bellows asked for numbers we put ours in then we’re seated inside when the artist were outside…

The artists were wonderful!

Amazing lineup of musicians and great mix of performances and venues. When’s the next one??!!

The evening itself was fabulous—I especially loved the Duntroon and Sidelaunch parties. That said, the number of emails felt unnecessary and overwhelming. Once we registered, the constant flow made something simple feel unnecessarily confusing, and I heard the same feedback from many others.

Another point: I would have liked to see more women represented. Let’s make sure more space is given to diverse voices in the future.

Great experience. Great young artists. Well organized for a first time wider event. I’d go back. Sidelaunch Saturday was amazing. Next time, way fewer texts/emails, bring more artists - heard the same songs many times, make sure the sound mix picks up guitar and voice inside the venues, and ensure venues
are ready for crowds. Those poor bartenders at Kaytoo Friday. Way understaffed.

First time first us and we loved it. What a great idea. All venues were intimate settings where you can meet the artists while hearing amazing music. One artist said "we don't get lots of opportunities to play our own songs (covers pay the bills), so we love this too."

We just spent the weekend in Collingwood going from many fantastic venues. What an incredible event with a multitude of incredibly talented musicians and artists. We truly hope this comes to Collingwood again . We are following as many of the artists that we can , in the hopes to keep hearing them ….
Thank you Scotty for all you did to organize this event .

It was ok. It would be nice to see a couple singers that sing together a bit. The denial singer was “ok”. The male singer was really good.

We’ve been to Nashville 12 times, and have attended Tin Pan South - the songwriters’ festival on many occasions. We really like the format of songwriters doing “rounds” - telling the story of how each song got written, and any subsequent history with that song - and then they perform it. So it was really exciting to learn that someone is bringing that format to our own neighborhood! The venue (GL Heritage Brewing Co in Amherstburg, ON,) with a BBQ food truck, and delicious beer on tap, in a large outdoor tent, was fun. I hope the format takes hold, and if it does, perhaps we can entice some better-known singer-songwriters to make the 10 hour drive/flight from Nashville. I am aware many “mid-level artists” will do backyard concerts. You never know who might say “yes” until you ask. But discovering, and then following new artists is half the fun! We really enjoyed it. We hope to see more coming this way! Thank you!

We loved the entertainment and the venue. But the food was horrible. Waited 1 hour and 10 min for a sloppy burger that wasn’t cooked thoroughly and hung out on all sides from the bun. Asked for no sauce and it was smothered with bbq sauce. Next time will eat elsewhere before the show. Big Mac BBQ was a huge disappointment!!

Last night’s Backyard Music at GL Heritage was absolutely incredible! Perfect fall night with amazing soulful and fun music from Scotty, Connor and Stephen!

We were not expecting the level of talent these 3 musicians have. Scotty, Connor, & Stephen were extremely fun and so talented. We will be looking for more Backyard Music events. Thank you

The concert was cancelled. I had to find this out on my own. I bought 4 tickets in August and still have Not been refunded. Even after numerous emails with no response. I am extremely disappointed with this company. Feels like I’ve been scammed!!

This show was cancelled due to low attendance three weeks ago and I still haven’t received a refund. I hope that will be better taken care of in the future.

Excellent venue for an excellent band of Nashville talent. The Owls Hoot Barn is not only where my wife and I got married but it's also where we continue to frequent for amazing events like this. So it was no surprise that when you shake in a little southern comfort that backyard Music Co. has to offer, we were bound for a great time. The band, MacMartin, was a real hoot. They were incredibly personable with the intent to lift the veil on where each of their songs came from, something you'll never get from a big ticketed concert! Cheers

We enjoyed Scotty and Matthew’s
stories and songs. The experience was a bit misleading- our venue did not have Nashville inspired food and drinks, or merch, as advertised.

Attended a Nashville so writers Circle at Steinharts and we only got one newbie. Apparently everyone else missed their flights. We got an hour of music

I feel like this event was a total bait and switch. I thought there was going to be multiple Nashville artists. Nothing as what was advertised. I was at Origin in Strathmore and this is the only event I’ve been let down by.

The venue was nice with great hosts and drinks. I was disappointed only one entertainer was there and the event ended short of the time advertised. Mark Taylor was a great singer/ storyteller.
