Leading the charge is a lineup of acclaimed Colorado traditional country & bluegrass musicians, including in-demand dance caller/fiddler Andrea Earley-Coen, with KC Groves on bass, Donny Chavez on guitar, Ryan Drickey on lead fiddle and Creede's very own Avery Augur on banjo. Together, they'll keep the barn rocking all night long with toe-tapping tunes and infectious rhythms.

This event is for everyone, regardless of age or experience level. We'll kick things off with a brief informational social dance lesson/refresher to get everyone on their feet and ready to join in the fun. So whether you're a seasoned square dancer or a first-time hoedowner, grab your people and come on down for a night of music, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Don't miss out on the hottest hoedown in town! Grab your cowboy hat and join us for a rip-roaring good time at the Town Barn Dance Hoedown. Yeehaw! 🎻👢
