We support Live Music Every Saturday @ Hempen Hill BBQ

As music lovers ourselves, we enjoy having a variety of bands and type of music.  Just ask anyone who has attended one of our famous Hempen Hill House Parties and they'll tell you we play anything from Smashmouth to The Grateful Dead to 70's Disco and usually wind up the evening with some late night Metallica & Judas Priest -oooh if our walls could talk!
So you see, we love music plain and simple.  Because of that love, we strive to bring you a variety of music here to Hempen Hill BBQ for FREE.  We make it our goal to pay for the bands ourselves without charging you a cover fee; however, there may be an occasional band or two that are expensive to host and out of our budget, but Oh so worth it so they will be the few that we will have a small cover at the door- Trust me, they are worth it though!!

So we encourage you to come in Saturdays, sit back, relax & Enjoy!   Most bands play 8:30-12:30

All Music is FREE unless a cover is indicated
