The Word Barn Story...
We’re one poet and two music fanatics who created a space to share and build community around our passion for both music and literature.
While our events are blessed with great response, and full audiences from both near and far, it is a passion project with little to no funds left over after the musicians, sound, insurance, etc. are paid.
We are able to cover half of the cost, and are hoping for your support to help get us to the finish line to purchase and install a professional sound system – which will both eliminate expensive rental costs, and free up floor space from temporary, bulky sound gear.
While not affordable in the past, an inhouse sound system will provide an opportunity to use microphones and/or sound for our literary and community events, like our Holiday Family Story Hour, as needed.
It will also allow us to feature a greater variety of music acts moving forward!
By eliminating rental costs, we can help keep ticket costs reasonable, continue to attract high-caliber acts to our space, and ensure high-quality sound to compliment The Word Barn listening room experience.
Best of all, a permanent sound system will be hung in the rafters – freeing up floor space currently occupied by temporary sound gear.
All donors, of any amount, will be recognized on a special thank you wall display in The Word Barn.
Thank you for your support - even if it's just helping to spread the word!
