The Ross Farm 135 N Maple Ave, Basking Ridge, NJ, United States

We’re adding a twist to our History Weekend activities with live music on Saturday, Oct. 8! Stick around after participating in our annual event, or come just for the music as we welcome Nashville transplant Brooks Hubbard to the Ross Farm at 6 p.m. Tickets are available for $20 for adults and $10 for students; admission includes light refreshments. Hubbard writes homegrown music, straight from his heart, and he counts among his influences Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Jackson Browne, Donavon Frankenreiter, John Fogerty, Brett Dennen, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers and G. Love & Special Sauce. “My music stems from this positive energy I constantly have flowing through my body, and just like a recipe, I blend in many influences to create my own sound,” the young singer-songwriter says. Hubbard is a New Hampshire native and 2014 Keene State College graduate. He credits his study of Political Science in helping mature his writing into bigger ideas. After graduation, Hubbard packed his guitar and headed to Nashville, where he is finding success. Hubbard has released two CDs, Press Play in 2014 and Start of Me in 2015, as well as a three-song EP recorded at Martina McBride’s […]

Kyle Cox with Granville Automatic

The Ross Farm 135 N Maple Ave, Basking Ridge, NJ, United States

Here’s part of a review of a recent Kyle Cox concert that should entice everyone to his first-ever concert in New Jersey at the Ross Farm on Sunday afternoon, November 6: “Kyle is the kind of artist that inspires love and introspection. He texted me earlier in the day saying, ‘Playing tunes at Will’s Pub tonight if you’re in town. Would be fun to see ya!’ Without hesitation, I changed my schedule to make sure I didn’t miss him. He’s one of those artists who are so important to see when in town — you need it more than you know. He inspires me to be a better man, stronger. He swept my lovely date right off her feet, being effortlessly honest, telling stories about what his songs mean to him before he performs each one. His pain is plainly present and he’s completely unashamed of it. He’s the kind of artist that will make you glad to be there with whoever you’re there with. Expect the night to likely lead to a late night in your kitchen, dancing to your favorite songs with someone real special, not even completely understanding “what is happening,” but loving every second.”(Mitch Foster, 7/17/16, […]

<!-- Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 26 for the 3 p.m. show in the Music Room inside the beautiful old home. Admission for this show is a suggested donation of $20 for adults and only $10 for students. Donate now! --> Kyle Cox closed out our 2016 music series in November, and we’re thrilled he’ll kick off our 2017 season with his good buddy Matt Hires! Kyle also has a new project out in the world, even as he continues to pen new songs. If you follow his social media, you’ll read that Kyle has recently picked up pen and paper to compose these new songs, stepping away from writing with the use of technology. From Kyle’s website: It might seem incongruous that the most intimate songs that flow from the heart and pen of a skilled songwriter are also sometimes the most deeply relatable to many who hear said songs, but that is the sonic sweet spot in which Kyle Cox practices his craft. The hoops- and hooks-loving (basketball and catchy songs, respectively), Nashville-based Cox, who recently signed a label/management deal with Rock Ridge Music, will consummate the partnership with the June 3, 2016 release […]
