You have a choice, buy a scrumptious dinner from us - no fuss or muss (Look Pa, no dishes!), or you can bring your own picnic dinner and refreshments - NO COOKING.

Dinner-concert tickets should be purchased in advance so we know how much to cook. We do increase our cooking by about 10% above pre-concert ticket sales, but don't plan on being able to purchase dinner at the door.
If you want food - get your tickets by noon the Friday before the dinner concert. The exception is the Peter Rowan concert - dinner tickets should be purchased no later than Thursday, July 3 due to the 4th of July holiday. The Peter Rowan dinner ticket costs are still the original price of $12 each. Our price change takes effect for the July 19th concert.

And, don't forget our tradition of brownies for sale at $1 each during the break between musical sets.
As always, you are more than welcome to bring your own picnic dinner and refreshments - NO COOKING

The Oaksong Masters in Music Concert Series is a new series of occasional concerts designed to present those artists that we believe have profoundly influenced their genre of musical arts. Whether virtuoso instrument playing, vocals, songwriting, song interpretation or all of the above, the artists presented in this series exemplifies mastery of their craft. The concerts are usually about 90 minutes divided into two 45 minute sets with a 15 to 20 minute break between sets. They are designed to be a relaxed warm gathering for attendees and artists alike and feature a question-answer period usually just after the first break and before the beginning of the second set of music.  

Our concerts at Gray Pine Farm in Oak Run starts late June and can run through September. We usually have our concerts on Saturdays beginning in the early evening with tasty BBQ dinners and then great concerts by the very best Americana Music based artists. We feature all forms of  folk music, Bluegrass, Blues, Slack Key/Hawaiian, Cowboy (western based folk), Jazz, even good old Rock & Roll - and yes this year we will feature a great Classical crossover chamber group.
