What is it?
This is essentially the ultimate #KelloggtownVIP experience, but whereas #Kelloggtown is a meet and greet for 15-25 minutes before a show, the #SKFamilyBBQ takes place over an entire weekend. "In 2010 I asked myself the question of what would I want to do with my favorite artists? The answer I kept coming back to was, grab a burger, play some lawn games, hang out, ask them a few questions, hear a few stories, maybe hear some tunes that I wouldn’t get to hear at a normal show.” So that’s what we’ve curated here.
A weekend worth traveling in for. A weekend with many of our core fans from around the globe and in some cases, their growing families. The event has been held in Washington DC three times and Western MA twice. We are thrilled to announce the Family BBQ's return to Southern CT where Stephen lives with his family. It’s our first time in CT since it’s inception in 2010.

Is it All Ages?
Yes it is. All children are different and we’ll leave it to you to gauge if it’s something you think your kids would be into. The Venue this year is a bar that we have rented out and each night there are two sets so it may go later than some kids would be up for. The night shows are traditional SK shows so it’s something for everyone. Only you know your family and they may want to attend the day show, and have a Mom and Dad’s night out in the evening to enjoy drink specials. SK’s family will be there taking part in the weekend festivities and it’s one of our great joys to see families come out together
Will there be day passes?
Currently you can buy a day pass to the BBQ, Lawn Games and Kids Performance. This doesn’t include any of the other weekend perks or admission to the night time shows. If there is still space available on Memorial Day, we will release passes for the remaining tickets on Friday and Saturday night. This is a very intimate venue experience and we’ve currently sold 1/3 of the tickets with two months to go, so it’s a gamble if you’re hoping to be part of the weekend, but if there are day tickets available that’s when we’ll be putting them on sale via the event link and our website.
