Live shows in a club or a bar may be fun, sure, but all too often they don’t involve hay. Observing this obvious blight on the music world, Daytrotter’s Sean Moeller solved that problem this summer with a string of barn dates that featured farm-friendly acts like Local Natives, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and Mac Lethal.
