“It could be a candidate for the Guiness World-Record folks for the longest running weekly concert series at a BBQ joint!”

After 10 years of Sunday afternoons serenading the patrons, staff, family and friends at Ray Brothers BBQ in Bouckville, NY Adam Brooks has decided to retire the concert series he created shortly after moving to the area in 2015 and meeting Tucker and Colin (1 year into their new BBQ venture) one fateful night – Thanks to mutual friend and award-winning brewer Teddy Gowan! Pairing great BBQ with good music is a long tradition both parties felt would be an important one to embrace, helping add a musical ingredient to the authentic BBQ experience the brothers were hell-bent on offering. And boy did they! Now, after over 400+ Serenades and thousands of treasured musical moments, “it just feels like the right time to retire the series.”

BIG thanks and gratitude to the Ray Brothers (and the RBQ family) for all their love, support and hospitality throughout the phenomenal 10 Year run!

Here at Whirled Werks Music we’re starting the new year OFF of social media! It can be a scary thing to untether yourself from something almost everyone else seems unable to be untethered from. We love to share new music, share upcoming performance dates and share unique insights into the craft of songwriting, recording and producing music. And we’ll keep doing it, just not on platforms like Facebook, Meta, TikTok or whatever the trending social media app of the moment may be.

We hope you’ll make plans to check back in and join us here for all of our Whirled Werks Music / Adam Brooks / Bucktown Kickback / Half Past Dead / Mike O’Hara Band / The Travelin’ Lighters (JJ Cale Tribute) updates, news, musical inspirations and creative pursuits we’ll continue sharing with you at Whirled Werks Music.com throughout 2026.

Cheers to a new year, a new us, and all the exciting musical adventures to come!

Much Love
