Who We Are
Our Mission
Our mission is to create an intimate, high-quality live music experience that brings artists and audiences closer together. We believe great music deserves a great room — one with exceptional sound, thoughtful lighting, warm hospitality, and an audience that truly listens.
Rooted in a community that values creativity and connection, we aim to be a year-round home for artists and music lovers alike. Our size is intentional: it allows for powerful, up-close performances and meaningful moments that larger venues simply can’t offer. What we may lack in scale, we make up for in atmosphere, care, and character.
We’re committed to thoughtful curation — blending emerging voices with established artists, introducing new genres while honoring familiar favorites, and creating a welcoming space for both longtime locals and new audiences. By fostering strong partnerships, supporting artists fairly, and cultivating a vibrant, inclusive vibe, we strive to be more than a venue — we aim to be a place people feel connected to, inspired by, and excited to return to.
ButtonBall Barn is small, loud (in a good way), and full of people who actually came to see music — not just drink near it. The sound is dialed in, the crowd is tuned in, and the vibe is somewhere between “secret show” and “your favorite room you wish more people knew about.”
FAQs
What kind of music happens at the Barn?
1
Short answer: good music, played well, in a great room.
At ButtonBall Barn in Egremont, we host original live music across folk, Americana, roots, blues, bluegrass, country, rock, all the alts - alt-rock, alt country, alt folk - and whatever else fits the vibe.
In any given week you’ll find a curated mix of local, regional, national, and international artists playing all originals, covers, and the occasional tributes (because people do love those tribute bands). Plus, you’ll find fun community nights like open mic, karaoke, sea shanty singalongs, and even line dancing.

Can I (or my cousin) play here?

Maybe!
We mainly book professional, original artists—mostly touring and regional musicians from the Berkshires, New England, and beyond. We also book the occasional tribute band, cover band, and upcoming local musicians who need to be heard.
