The Suwanee City Council voted recently to recognize the Everett Music Barn as a cultural asset. The resolution allows the city to promote the barn’s activities as appropriate.
The family-oriented Everett Music Barn at 4055 Stonecypher Road has been part of Suwanee’s rural past since the 1960’s. The Everett brothers began playing bluegrass music at their home in Suwanee in 1964 and were a fixture on Saturday morning local radio shows in Buford, Canton, and Cumming. In 1971 the brothers built a barn behind their house to accommodate the many local and regional musicians that come to play, making it a regular Saturday night fixture for bluegrass music and community for over 50 years.
The barn operates on donations made each week, with a suggested donation of $15 when a national band visits. No alcohol is allowed on the property.
