📣 Attention “Gaston Unplugged” friends! There’s an effort to help make those intimate music shows a year round possibility!

The Revolaters, a storied part of Aiken's music history, return for just one night to help kickstart the fundraising efforts that will help turn the Gaston Livery Stable Listening Room into a year round venue for our music pleasure. Me and Paul Acoustic Duo have signed up to help make this show a true success! And finally, 6 year old Presley Jane was just added to the roster because the road goes on forever… 🎶🎶

The support of these "home grown" bands are a perfect addition to Gaston's many stories. Gaston has always been a local, home grown effort since the day friends decided to take out a mortgage to save the old barn from demolition. The "Gaston Unplugged" music series, put on by the Aiken Music Fest crew, uncovered the listening room potential. The acoustics are amazing in this 14 feet high, thick brick, real wood, and concrete room. Who knew? Well, now we do. The shows so far have all been amazing!

The numbers work for small, intimate listening room shows in this room. New uses for an historic building will help make the Gaston Livery Stable sustainable. Making this a truly unique listening room venue will be a great addition to Aiken's music scene. Let's Go!

Ben Newman came up with this fundraiser idea, based on the potential he sees, and he has gathered up the talent. We're helping spread the word and gathering up the volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer to help at the reception table, Mocktail bar, provide some snacks, or generally help host- email [email protected]. We'd love to have your help. Truly, this is a friend raiser as much as a fundraiser.

It's going to be a long term endeavor because retrofitting heating and cooling solutions in an old drafty barn is a challenge - that we are up for! There will be opportunities the night of the show to put your name on the Founding Supporters Wall besides buying bundled packages. Come see your old friends, make some new friends, dance like the old days, and let's help create something truly special and uniquely Aiken together! See you at the show!
