(June 11, 2016) – On Saturday, June 25, Brian’s Backyard BBQ will host its annual ‘Backyard Music Fest’. The event will take place rain or shine at 170 Otter in Campbell Hall. Live music will start at 1:00 pm.

The birth of the Backyard Music Fest:

According to Brian Remaley (the owner of Brian’s Backyard BBQ), “In 2004 my nephew William’s life was taken too short. The late, great guitarist and blues-man Bill Perry, with  great blues icon, harmonica player and Levon Helm front-man “Little Sammy Davis” and I decided to start a memorial for my nephew. But, the event is not just a memorial but a network for artists to have a chance to relax and enjoy themselves with other musicians. The event has taken a life of it’s own and I feel blessed to have met great musicians over the years, and having them be a part of something that means a lot to me.”

Remaley goes on to say, “we don’t meet people by chance in life. There is a reason why musicians were crossing my path. I’ve been soul-searching over the years trying to find the answer. I came up with the solution and believe it was why “God” has put musicians and people in my path: To help the healing process and others who have experienced the same inner-feeling of loss due to the passing of a loved one. Now, that energy is living on through great BBQ, music and friendship.”
