About

When establishing the restaurant in 2014, Colin Ray embarked on another dream of his: to build an outdoor music venue. Just like the restaurant, the brothers never dreamed of how big the music portion of Ray Brothers BBQ would become. It started with a simple stage of plywood screwed to pallets set in the backyard, and has transformed into the gorgeous amphitheater you see today.

The Yard Amphitheater holds up to 1,500 attendees and has featured such acts as Keller Williams, Zach Deputy, Turkuaz, Ryan Montbleau, Montgomery Gentry, JJ Grey and Mofro with The North Mississippi Allstars, Martin Sexton and many more.

During the fall and winter, our indoor stage hosts an incredible lineup to keep the music going! 

We hope to see you for a show.

Whether you are coming to Hamilton for a visit with friends and family, an event at Colgate, one of our year-round live music shows, or are just feeling ready for a waterfront, BBQ-fueled weekend getaway - look no further!
