With its proximity to the Edmond Town Hall Theatre, the Barn has played host to a number of internationally touring artists presented in the Live at ETH concert series. The Barn is privately owned by Michael and Jennifer Guman. The couple's mission is to create a unique musical event space to encourage local appreciation and support for the arts in Newtown.

Any donations go to the musicians, and any surplus to a local nonprofit supporting the Arts in Newtown.

The Barn is located at the corner of Church Hill and Main Street. Walk-in entrance is at the first driveway on Church Hill Road. Look for off-street parking where possible. Space inside the barn is limited. BYO chair for lawn seats.

Griffin Anthony's songs echo hints of other unmistakable first name greats: Townes, Jackson, Van, and Levon. He is hailed as "a stunningly persuasive and soulful voice." He has performed at festivals including Wanee, SunFest, and CMJ, while his catalog has garnered placements on HBO, ABC, NBC, E!, CBS, MTV, VH1, and Bravo. Griffin was the principal film score composer for the independent film Catskill Park, as well as HBO's "Call to Action" and "I Wanna See You" commercials. He also has released independent albums, most recently, The Making of a Man. With the additional aid of multi-Grammy-winning David LaBruyere, the roots-driven production exhibits a reverence for the traditional American song.
