HUNTERSVILLE – The rains at the 1969 rock fest Woodstock in New York State were legendary, but the show went on. As rain fell Saturday night, that was the mantra for Miles Brown, organizer of the sixth annual Barnstock festival.
“That’s all right,” he said. “It’s rain. It’s just rain. It’s weather, you can’t do anything about the weather. Woodstock wouldn’t have been Woodstock without rain.”

HUNTERSVILLE – Six years ago, Miles Brown and high-school friends turned their jam sessions in the Brown family barn into an outdoor music festival they called Barnstock, at the family’s farm off Black Farms Road. (Yes, there’s actually a barn.) Despite hints that last year’s festival would be the last, they’re planning one of the largest festivals yet this Saturday, July 19. And Barnstock is coming of age, by restricting attendance to 21-and-over and bringing in higher-profile bands to headline the event.
