What a fabulous idea to showcase…

What a fabulous idea to showcase talented musicians and their original music at venues that would otherwise miss out! We thoroughly enjoyed Kelsi Mayne and MackMartin--they were fabulous and so much fun!

If you want an amazing experience and…

If you want an amazing experience and be introduced to an “in the round” musical journey, Backyard Music Co is your go to. We had such an awesome night last night we are still talking about it, not to mention listening to the artists tracks on Spotify. Hands down we will be attending way more of Backyard Music CO’s events!

Congratulations Scotty and team, you have absolutely nailed it!

Amazing evening of original songs from great up and coming artists.

The 3 singer songwriters were all incredible. Each a little different from the other but all amazing (have already started following them on YouTube and social media). The winery venue was beautiful but would have preferred table seating instead of rows of chairs (no where to place your drink!).
My husband and I were really impressed with the music, the artists and the evening experience. Would totally do it again.

Great show with Nashville artist Gabe Walsh

We were fortunate to be included with the invitees to a show held at From the Vine featuring Gabe Walsh. We enjoyed the intimate atmosphere and Gabe and Scotty were both excellent performers. Will definitely keep my eyes out for additional shows such as this.

Wonderful Experience at From the Vines

Had the pleasure of enjoying a last minute pop up with Scotty and Gabe Walsh. It was at a St.Thomas venue. Which was lovely as it isn't an often occurrence! Fast communication. Scotty was great at answering any questions and got things set up quickly. I would be involved with this company again and happy to attend more events in the future

Amazing music events!

Every event I’ve been to has been coordinated and run extremely smoothly and the music has been amazing. An intimate event that is hard to come by with passionate and talented singer songwriters. Great atmosphere. Great music. Great venues. Great drinks.

You won’t be disappointed!

We were pleasantly surprised when we had a last minute opportunity to see one of Backyard Music Co events with Scotty and Nashville talent Gabe Walsh at a St Thomas venue. It was incredibly intimate, and the talent was amazing. We are looking forward to their festival in June and would highly recommend these one of a kind events, to anyone for a date night, girls night, an event with a group of friends, or if you just love good people and good music. You won’t be disappointed. :)

They aren't trustworthy

They aren't trustworthy. They make agreements and set out specific instructions and then do major scope creep and change the parameters of the project.

They are disorganized, emotional, unprofessional, and should be avoided at all costs.

Reply from Backyard Music Co.

This review is simply a reflection of the freelancer’s frustration over being terminated. The reality is that he was not a good fit for our team, and we have every right to end a contract when expectations are not met. His claims are false, and it’s unfortunate that he has chosen to respond this way. We wish him the best moving forward.

Unexpected great afternoon

I wasn’t sure what to expect as my sister-in-law organized our outing. What an amazing show, and venue. I wasn’t expecting such a fun afternoon with such great talent all the way from Nashville and Toronto. Thank you Scotty

Unforgettable Night of Music with Backyard Music Co.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a concert by Backyard Music Co. at Crescent Hill Acres near Sarnia Ontario, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The intimate setting allowed for a close connection between the artists and the audience, creating a magical atmosphere that enhanced the music. The sound quality was superb, allowing every note and lyric to shine.
What set this concert apart was the Nashville in the round style, where each artist took turns sharing their songs and stories. It was fascinating to hear the personal anecdotes behind the music, adding a deeper layer of meaning to the performances. Despite a hiccup with one artist being late due to a car accident, the event host, Scotty James, stepped in and delivered a remarkable performance, going above and beyond to ensure that the audience had a fantastic time.
In the end, I was treated to the music of not just three, but four talented artists, each bringing their own unique style and energy to the stage. Backyard Music Co. has truly created something special with their concerts, and I can’t wait to attend another event in the future. If you’re a music lover looking for an unforgettable live music experience, I highly recommend checking out Backyard Music Co.
