Backyard Music Co. Recenzje 

Nashville takeover was 5 star with the artists all the talent was amazing and gave great shows and experiences. Some venues might have been a little small but if weather would have been more favorable it wouldn’t have been so noticeable.
In some locations I feel that the automatic tipping created a situation for poor service and lack value of food and drinks. This could be rectified if you had a minimum spend at seated tables.
A list of all the musician provided after the event would give us away to start to follow our favorite up and coming artists.

This company uses deceptive practices. Nowhere is it mentioned that reservations to the events will be required at a later date prior to purchasing tickets.
THIS IS FRAUD by definition: deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.
They will not refund my money

The music was fantastic. Great to support up and coming talent as well as some established artists. We loved the randomness of the performers. It was great to see how performers unknown to each other just made it seem so simple and worked really well together.
I was a bit concerned about venues, thinking they may be too big. I was wrong! The venues were also fantastic. Small and intimate.
I did have several concerns with the locations at the beginning. It was originally advertised as a Fenlon Falls/ Bobcaygeon event. But then there was only one VIP event in Bobcaygeon. After some feedback (complaining), another venue was added in Bobcaygeon. That was appreciated, otherwise, I would not have driven to Fenlon Falls in the evenings. The concession stands were, also, a bit overpriced.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the performers I would definitely do this again!

My wife and I had a great time at the Orangeville event. It was well organized and the staff was helpful with any questions we had. The artists were all talented and engaged with the crowd. We will definitely go back again next year.

We weren’t sure what to expect but had a great time at the Orangeville event. We selected a bar venue for the afternoon and were surprised that they were able to accommodate the crowd with food and drinks since it was very busy. The music was great. We spent the evening at a quieter listening room hearing songs and the stories behind them before heading to the after party where we had the chance to see some of the artists we missed during the day. The whole thing was well run despite some glitches in the weeks leading up to it. We were able to reserve spots which meant we didn’t haven’t worry about not getting into a full venue. It was a good time!!!

Nashville takeover was incredible and I will be buying tickets to several more town takeovers! What an incredible idea!

Der allumfassend exzellente Service des Händlers ist
vorbildlich und sucht seinesgleichen.
Backyard Music ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Herzlichen Dank für Alles

**update - I was refunded for my tickets as the event coordinator was able to re-sell my tickets**

My experience before the event has even started has been incredibly disappointing.

The event was marketed as a multi-venue Nashville-style music festival throughout downtown Orangeville. Like many others, I expected to be able to enjoy the atmosphere by visiting participating bars and restaurants throughout the day.

What wasn't made clear when I purchased my tickets was that reservations would essentially determine whether you could access those venues at all. By the time I became aware that reservations were required, every downtown venue for Saturday was fully booked, leaving only the Orangeville Fairgrounds available.

At that point, I wasn't getting the experience I paid for. Instead of spending the day exploring downtown and enjoying multiple venues, I was effectively limited to a single location outside the downtown core.

When I contacted customer service, I explained that this was not the event I believed I had purchased and requested a refund. Their response was simply that they have a no-refund policy and suggested I try selling my tickets myself.

I understand venues have capacity limits, but if reservations are critical to participating in the event, that information should be impossible to miss before people spend hundreds of dollars, not communicated later by email after tickets have already been sold.

The customer service responses were polite but completely unwilling to acknowledge how frustrating this situation is for customers. Instead, the responsibility was placed on ticket holders.

After reading other reviews, it appears I'm not the only person who has encountered issues with how this event has been organized.

I hope the organizers take this feedback seriously. The concept has great potential, but transparency is essential. Consumers deserve to know exactly what they're purchasing before they buy tickets.

The Nashville Takeover was such a fabulous and unique experience to be a part of! Every single, hand-selected artist brought such incredible talent! The music and the vibes felt at each location made us feel like we were actually a part of an intimate show right in one of the Nashville bars! What an amazing weekend with so many memories shared! We can’t wait until next year!

The entire experience was so different from any other music event I have attended. The artists were beyond talented, the venues were unique (especially on the Sunday in Port Stanley at the Wildflowers farm and The Clearing), and the staff were so friendly. All the artists were willing to talk to you after and take pictures, it was a very intimate and personal experience. I will be buying tickets for future events.

I had the pleasure of attending CrossRoads Unity Commons venue in Burlington. Musicians were so good, amazing talent! Can’t remember when I had such an enjoyable evening. What a great event ❤️

Oversold and No Value! I was looking forward to this event, having been to Nashville many times, but I was really disappointed. We arrived, 5 of us from Toronto, Friday afternoon. We had upgraded our passes from a Saturday day pass to a full weekend pass. We registered on Friday afternoon, and planned to have dinner and see the evening show at Two Forks, only to be turned away because they were at capacity.

We attempted to get seated at SoLo, which was also full and not taking any more dinner guests. We ended up going somewhere else, not affiliated with the event.

Saturday afternoon was no better. We arrived early (1:30 for a 2:30 show) at Port Stanley Brewing Co., but when we got to the door, we were told again that they could not seat us until after the show. What's the point of that? Instead, we had a lovely dinner at Riva's (again, not affiliated with Nashville Takeover).

Saturday evening, we once again lined up at Two Forks only to be told it was standing room only and that we could not get a table, and not to bother the bartenders, because they were busy? (what?)

I feel like I was taken advantage of, up sold a $100/each * 2 pass, and we did not hear a single note played. My opinion is that this organizer is simply over selling the event to maximize their profits, not caring to deliver an experience. I would warn anyone to STAY AWAY from future events. Be Warned!

Overcrowded, the Nashville takeover in port Stanley sold more tickets than they had space for. Couldn’t even get into most venues and waited in line for over an hour to listen to artist not even from Nashville.

Nashville Takeover Burlington — Saturday June 13: Great concept, terrible execution

We were really excited for the Nashville Takeover event in Burlington on Saturday June 13, but unfortunately the experience was a complete letdown. The idea of shuffling between bars sounds amazing, but in reality it was nearly impossible to enjoy.

Right from the start, the organization felt lacking — when we picked up our information, the person assisting us didn’t know any details and said everything “should be outlined.”

We only made it to two bars. Joe Dogs was packed, with what seemed like one server covering an entire section. We squeezed in near the front and caught one song — the artists were actually great — but the crowding made it impossible to enjoy. We then tried downstairs, where you couldn’t hear anything happening.

At Port House, we finally got a table, but it was outside with almost zero seating. The bathrooms had no soap or toilet paper, and paying $18 for drinks without even having music experience was incredibly disappointing.

The biggest issue was the complete lack of organization or Nashville Takeover presence. There was no one coordinating the experience, no realistic way to move between venues, and no sense of the event we thought we were paying for.

We paid $60 per person and honestly would have rather paid more for one reserved table somewhere and a proper experience and smaller time period. Also tons of revenue lost on lack of service all around. We left around 8 PM and ended up having a much better time afterward just hanging out together.

The artists were talented and the idea is fun — but the execution needs a major overhaul. I would not recommend this event, especially for groups larger than two people. Total waste of money.

It was a really fun night! We just went on Saturday and it was a great turnout. Nice to hear stories from all our up and coming stars! Would love to do this again. Met Christine who was helping run the event. She gave us all kinds of info on where to go and how to get there. Thanks Christine you did a great job!

Thank you for the amazing time. Christine was amazing and very helpful with questions and recommendations. Would definitely return next year.

Artist's were amazing! Burlington! venues were the busiest I've ever seen...line ups everywhere when we went to experience Backyard Music show aka Nashville Takeover! Big shout out to the organizers..friendly..professional and helpful. We only had time to visit 3 sites..wish we could of seen the others as well..next time..great night out!

The Nashville takeover in Burlington was a waste of money. The band you purchased was supposed to allow you to visit all venues and enjoy the country artists. Unfortunately the venues were full and line ups to enter the venues exceeded 1 to 3 hours.

The Nashville

We had a really good time at the wknds Nashville takeover in Essex county! What an event! We personally met quite a few of the performers on the last day and wow, there are some talented, genuine people out there! This was a truly fun event brought to our neck of the woods and I hope it won’t be the last. Keep up the great work in organizing events like this!
