jimmy driftwood barn

A must see to experience music from the early settlers, an interactive show that allows the viewer to become actively involved in the singing and fun.

Mountain View is known for their love of Folk Music; the Jimmy Driftwood Barn did not disappoint. Jimmy Driftwood Barn is a "must" while in Mountain Home. The local musicians are great great. The town and people are very passionate about their music and are passing this passion on to the next generation. The night we visited we were privileged to hear one of the best fiddle players we ever heard; she was nine years old. Truly amazing. There is no charge to get in the door, however they do pass a basket around asking for donations. This is a casual and very fun way to spend the evening.

My family and I stopped at The Barn to enjoy the singing and playing Friday nite 8/8/14. Like grandkids do (ages18 months to 5 years) they got tired and were not able to keep quiet, so my daughers were taking them back to the hotel to put them to bed. We were followed out by the Emcee and treated very rude and told to take our kids home and don't come back. Seems like he was more worried about not getting any donations than he expected. Unknowing to him, my wife and I were going to stay and we offered him money, but we were told to leave also. You had your day Mr. Emcee, but what goes around comes around. The music was great but the Emcee is rude and very arrogant! Johnny Kelly, Hazen Arkansas.

These people of Mountain View are passionate about their music and so ever enjoy sharing what they do. The young children are encouraged from VERY young to become involved, through school and after programs. amazing! Quite a variety of music is offered at Jimmy Driftwood barn. Casual, fun place to go for an hour or stay longer. Foot tapping, hum along, friendly people abound . Just the love of MUSIC...

I enjoyed my visit to Jimmy Driftwood Barn. The music and the people playing it were authentic.Since it's a place open to anyone who wants to sing and there is no fee charged, those singing really put a lot of themselves on the songs, they were there to share music and communicate feelings, not to make a profit.Highly recommended!

Good music, friendly people that are very talented and you will not be sorry for going. There will be folk music, country music and a lot of gospel. One may even hear a 'twang' of Blue Grass every once in a while. I highly recommend this show to everyone. Young, old and there are usually young people on stage performing also. A good, clean family type show.

If you want to see a lot of local talent perform, don't miss this one. Lots of performers, lots of variety...and it is FREE!! They do pass around a basket for donations.

Golfed all day and enjoyed great mountain music. All local talent and they were fantastic. Only Friday & Sunday nights at 7:00.

Jimmy Driftwood is a major part of Mtn Veiw. He is one of the best parts of the town. A must see if you are in the area.

Very informal. No charge but they took up an offering to go to missions. Beautiful music by locals who love what they do. Don't miss it.

A wonderful experience. Went backstage during a short intermission and chatted with some of the performers. If you are in the area (Little Rock-Branson, etc.) you have to drive over and take in at least one of the shows. Take your video camera! P & J, Castle Rock, Colorado

Mostly retired folks who enjoy music. But they were very friendly, and it was free. Much music in the town.

I was probably one of the youngest people at the Barn that night - and I'm 56. But I knew almost every song. For about two hours on Sunday night, the music never stopped. All acoustic, very country (mountain) style, gospel and some ballads, with a humorous one thrown in now and then. They pass the contribution baskets about halfway through the evening, and about 9:00PM, the entire cast of performers comes on stage and the audience stands for the closing song. That night it was "On the Wings of a Dove." The seats are old church pews, and there are cushions around for some of us who need a little padding. Leave "pickers corner" for one evening to enjoy this place. It is memorable!

It is a must, when you love Old Time Countrymusic. Where can you find 20 or 30 artists on stage and you do not pay one single Cent? Tips are welcome. Ok, the audience is grey and 65+, the performers are not much younger but excellent. The organization is perfect, there is not a secondbrake between the superb various artists. Birdy Munich-Germany

Went a couple of years ago and loved it. My dad was a Jimmy Driftwood fan and I grew up listening to his music, so it was nice to hear some of the old music. Nice place and great show.
