The Rock Garden is perhaps Austin's foremost house concert venue and has been called the best small, outdoor, acoustic music performance space in town. It is a private garden amphitheater that seats up to 150 people with a pergola/stage, high-end sound and beautiful views to Austin's northwest hills.

Musicians say:

"The Rock Garden is one of the most beautiful and comfortable stages I know of. I wish we were playing there tonight."
Walt Wilkins

"A beautiful place for songwriters to share their craft."
Sara Hickman

"I think we're in Eden, man."
Sam Baker

"I'll come back here any time. I'll come back next weekend."
Radney Foster

Barbed Wire Productions is the producer of the Telluride Americana Music Weekend, presented every summer in Telluride, Colorado's Sheridan Opera House. The Sheridan is a jewel - a restored, century-old theater with seating for 240 people. The 2012 event is scheduled for July 18-21, 2012.

Jessie Scott of MusicFog has called this mini-festival "summer camp for Americana music" and says it should be on everyone's radar screen next summer.. During the daytime - mountain biking, hiking, rafting, golf and other activities in cool temperatures at 9,000 feet. During the evenings - music. All in a majestic small town located in a box canyon in the high Rocky Mountains.

Artists from previous years include Joe Ely, The Band of Heathens, Jimmy LaFave, Slaid Cleaves, Shake Russell & Michael Hearne, Eric Bibb, Irene Kelley, Patty Larkin, Greg Trooper, Kevin Welch, Walt Wilkins, Jason Eady, Sam Baker, Shannon Whitworth, Rod Picott and Amanda Shires, The Greencards, Radney Foster, Bruce Robison, Charlie Robison, The Trishas, Carrie Elkin & Danny Schmidt, and others.
