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!

I attended the Nashville Takeover in Stratford April 2026. Everything was amazing! First: When I ordered my tickets early in January, I ordered two tickets but only wanted one; I emailed support as soon as I realized what I had done. Brittany replied quickly and amended my order even though their website states clearly their 'no refund' policy. Second: Every crew member or volunteer at the event was kind, friendly, and helpful. Third: The itinerary was clear, and artists all started on time. They were all talented and the pairing or grouping of artists was well done. Thankfully it was nice weather, so walking from venue to venue was easy and it was neat to check out places in Stratford that I had never been to before.

On the rare occasion that I had to stand in line (I am one of those "need to be early or else I'm late" kind of people), other guests were easy to chat with and shared similar levels of appreciation for the work that went into this event.

I appreciated the follow up email from Backyard Music Co with the listing of the artists that had performed on the weekend; there were so many great musicians that it was impossible to remember them all!

My only suggestion is that for events where an RSVP is required (especially for the smaller/more intimate venues) that the guest list is a a limited number suited to the venue size and that those who RSVP'd (i.e. on the list) are guaranteed a seat.

Given this was their (and the venues) first Nashville Takeover event in Stratford, I am amazed at how well everything flowed and was prepared! I am confident that next year's event will be even more incredible since attendees and venues will have a better idea what is happening. I hope, though, that it doesn't get much bigger or busier; that would simply be too overwhelming and chaotic.

Amazing job, Backyard Music Co., Volunteers, and Venues!

We recently attended The Nashville Takeover in Stratford. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the artists. What a wonderful experience! Thank you for having this event in Stratford. Looking forward to next year! Thanks!

We had the best time at Nashville Takeover Stratford. The events were so well run, the sound was amazing, and the venues were perfect. Brittany was prompt with communication when I had to email with a problem (that I caused myself) with my ticket order and immediately resolved the issue. Thank you for an amazing experience. Can’t wait for the next one!

It was a fantastic weekend! I was so happy to be apart of helping out for this event! It was good vibes and loved the taste of nashville close to home! Definitely recommend going to one if yall get the chance!

We had a great experience at the Stratford Nashville Takeover! Each venue that we went to had superb singer/songwriters that held the space so well. We liked that the venues we went to had artists on more than one floor that we could enjoy during the same timeframe. We loved that it was in April when restaurants don't have lineups & everyone is happy to have an influx of people into their shops & businesses. Well done!

This weekend was amazing !! I was at concerts from Friday night to Sunday afternoon 😀
The performers were amazing & I Loved the meet and greet ... The singers were real, and would
Talk to you, during there off times 😀
Everything was so close to walk too, and the weather was great as well 😀
The volunteers really seemed to know what they were doing - & took concerns seriously .....
I am really looking forward to this happening, in Stratford, Ontario - next year 😀

So many amazing up and coming singer/songwriters. The venues allowed for intimate performances and connections with the artists and fans! It is a great concept to not know who I was going to hear and see next and it allowed for an in-the-moment experience. The artists I met were so down to earth and talented, the energy from the fans each day, made for an added fantastic vibe and the event was well put together by the production crew, Backyard Music Co. and the wonderful volunteers that helped the event run as smoothly as possible!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Backyard Music Co. at our venue, and they consistently deliver.

Professional, organized, and easy to work with, their team makes event days seamless. They bring great energy, read the room perfectly, and keep guests engaged all night.

From a venue standpoint, they’re reliable, respectful, and elevate the overall experience every time. Highly recommend.

I attended the Stratford Nashville takeover this past weekend with some girlfriends and my husband. We all had an absolute blast! This event was amazing. I really hope they come back to Stratford next year and use more venues. My only complaint is that there was no Nashville takeover merch to purchase. I would have loved to buy their merch at the event. Other than that, we had the best weekend bar hoping and listening to amazingly talented artists at multiple venues.

The musicians were awesome
The weekend was a complete success
Can't wait to do it all over again next year

Just got the chance to experience The Nashville Takeover this past weekend in Stratford, and it was terrific! Well run, great artists and music, and overall a lot of fun! Would definitely attend another event like this in the future!!

The Stratford Nashville Takeover was a fun new experience billed exactly what it is - small sessions, venue hopping, experimental. The musicians were great and we were able to get in every venue we wanted. I’d love to see this expanded to more venues in the future.

Attended the Nashville Takeover event in Stratford. Really enjoyed the music and the venues. Great curation of different artists, including many great Canadian talents. It was well organized and was a great thing for the downtown core. Only saw smiling faces all day long.

The music was great and energy even better. Such a great team! Had a blast and would highly recommend to anyone working with them or attending.

So. Much. Fun! And so wonderful to see locals and visitors out and about the streets of Stratford in this shoulder season. Would go again in a heartbeat. Little blip with liquor license at Copperlight but it was fixed. Thank you, Scotty and team!

What an amazing weekend in Stratford that was. Thanks to everyone involved please come back next year. Everything was incredible there is no other place I would have rather been
