Buffalo Gospel, Derek Pritzl & the Gamble

press release: At the heart of all great music is a story, and for that matter, a storyteller. The stories behind Milwaukee-based *Buffalo Gospel* begin with its founder Ryan Necci and his early introduction, through his father’s record collection, to country music, John Prine and Townes Van Zandt. Growing up in a small, lower middle class farm town, the songs of love and loss and broken blue-collar dreams seeped into him. When he started writing his own music over a decade ago, it was inevitable that the timeless quality of Country/Western and Americana arrangements would profoundly inform his art.

The doors open at 6:00 pm and music starts at 7:30. Music is wrapped up before 10:30.  

Where is the Shitty Barn?  506 E. Madison St., Spring Green (Yes, you are entering the industrial park)

Are shows kid friendly?  Children 6 years and older are welcome. Because it is an intimate concert setting that lasts 2+ hours, it is not a good place for jelly grubs and squirmy worms. We love your kids (really!), but we leave our young'uns at home and you probably should, too: If our adult patrons are disturbed, we will ask you to step outside and/or leave.  All of that said, you know your kids better than we do.  Infants/toddlers (lapable kids) do not need a ticket (all other kids do).

Dogs?  What about dogs? Please, no dogs. We're an old farm in an industrial park, and they're just not safe.

Do you take credit cards?  C'mon!  It's just a shitty barn!  Cash-money, baby! 

Do you sell food/beverages?  Enos Farms is on-hand for every show. They provide A-MAZING chow at reasonable prices, including veg and GF options. Please patronize them. We used to start a charcoal grill every show, but with Enos Farms serving such tasty food it has gone to the scrap heap. You can bring your own picnic, but leave the brats at home. Also, please no beverage carry-ins. We sell wine, beer, some soda and water at our cash bar.

Are tickets available at the door?  We strongly encourage purchasing tickets in advance.  Shows do and will sell out, though any unsold tickets will be available at the door.  It's best to check our website, Facebook page or Twitter account for the latest details about ticket availability. We never cancel a performance in advance. We can fit everyone in the Barn so the show will go on if it's raining. The weather can vary a lot within our small geographic area. So if it's storming in Madison, it can be clear in Spring Green.
