NEK Community Barn Dance

May 17, 2025 | 6:00 PM

Dust off 'yer boots, brush off your hat, and let’s gitty-up for a hoedown! Specializing in hoedowns, shindigs, and shotgun weddings, Ashley Jane's Hootenanny proudly plays the classics from the golden age of country and western music—plus a hearty helping of trucker tunes and rockabilly.
We’ve got Ashley Jane singing and playing rhythm guitar, Steve Wright on Telecaster, Chris Cruger on bass, and Brian Warwick on drums. Sing and dance along to legendary songs by Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Dave Dudley, Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, and more. Hootin’ and hollerin’ are encouraged, but we always abide by the Code of The West—that means no fightin,’ spittin,’ or horse rustlin’.
Red Barn Brewery will be serving up brewskies and food trucks on site will include Kingdom Kreperie & The Spicy Spoke.
Bring the family, kids under 18 get in free!
Smoking will not be allowed in the immediate area of the venue

Location: The Little Farm, Hinton Hill Rd., Westmore, VT
