SUMMARY:Ross Farm Barn Concert with Justin Howl
DESCRIPTION:From the University of Chicago to the heart of the blues scene\, Justin Howl’s musical journey began in the city’s clubs and deep in the archives of its vast library collections. While rooted in Chicago blues\, he’s drawn to the hypnotic rhythms of North Mississippi blues\, calling it his way of “going back home through the music.” An acclaimed\, well-traveled performer\, Justin has been praised by Blues Blast Magazine as a “strong singer” whose songs “will strike a chord with you.” \nWe’re thrilled to welcome Justin Howl to the Barn at Ross Farm for the first time in our 11th season of live music at the historic estate! Seating inside the barn is limited and will be provided. Early May evenings can be chilly\, so extra layers or jackets are strongly recommended. The barn doors slide open at 6:30 p.m.\, and the music begins at 7 p.m. Rain or shine—no refunds. 135 N. Maple Ave.\, Basking Ridge

SUMMARY:Niall Connolly live in the Barn
DESCRIPTION:Born in the final hours of 1977 in the suburbs of Cork\, Ireland\, Niall Connolly was raised on a soundtrack that shaped his storytelling soul—Nirvana on the Walkman\, Leonard Cohen on his sister’s stereo\, and the vibrant voices of Cork’s 1990s music scene. Later came snippets of New York street conversations\, tales of woe on the radio\, and the hum of highways across Europe. Every experience finds its way into Connolly’s music\, woven into melodies that unfold like stories—layer by layer\, listen by listen. In the studio\, he builds rich harmonies. On stage\, he delivers a mix of electricity\, sincerity\, and humor that captivates audiences worldwide. \nNiall played to an appreciative – and packed – music room inside the Ross Farm house last winter\, so we are thrilled to be able to welcome a larger audience inside the barn on Sunday\, May 4 for an unforgettable afternoon of music and storytelling. Seating inside the barn is limited and provided. Early May afternoons can be chilly\, so extra layers are recommended. The barn doors open at 1:30 p.m.\, and the music begins at 2 p.m. Rain or shine—no refunds.
