Big Red Barn Retreat Fall Festival

Featuring Grand Ole Opry Member and Multi-Platinum Songwriter and Country Music Artist, Chris Janson! Chris Janson, proud member of the Grand Ole Opry and multi-platinum songwriter and artist, is part of country’s new breed. In touch with the lighter side of life with self-penned No. 1s “Fix A Drink,” “Good Vibes,” and the triple platinum “Buy Me A Boat,” as well as the more thoughtful truths of “Done,” “Things You Can’t Live Without,” and the CMA Song of the Year nominee, ACM Video of the Year, and two time grammy nominee hit “Drunk Girl.” His songs “Boat” and “Girl” were named to the Nashville Songwriters Association International’s prestigious “Songs I Wish I Wish I’d Written” list, which is why artists like Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Cody Johnson, and the iconic Hank Williams Jr. reach for Janson’s songs for their own projects. Beyond his artistry are his live shows, where all that heart-on-the-four-wheeler songwriting meets the fans where they come to rock. For a man known for his outdoors lifestyle and collaborations with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, making music from his own life has established the harmonica-forward multi-instrumentalist the go-to guy for young country for the last decade. Don’t miss your chance to see this live legacy in the making, mark your calendars now! See ticketing information below. October 7, 2023 | Concert begins at 7:00 PM. Gates Open at 5:00 P.M. Location Segra Park, Home of the Columbia Fireflies

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!!
