Heroes Singer Songwriter Showcase

The Big Red Barn Retreat (BRBR) is excited to announce its Heroes Singer-Songwriter Showcase featuring a performance by Country music Singer-songwriter, Combat Veteran, and Purple Heart Recipient Scotty Hasting at the Icehouse Amphitheater in Lexington, SC.on June 13th, 2025. General Admission tickets are $20.00. Performances begin at 7:00 PM with our special guests, and the main act, Scotty Hasting, takes the stage at 8:30 PM. Gates open at 6:00 PM and there will be food and beverages, including beer and wine, available to purchase. Outside food and drink, as well as free-standing chairs, are prohibited. 

The former Army infantryman started writing and playing music after suffering a career-ending injury during his service in Afghanistan in 2011. Hailing from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, Scotty began playing guitar in 2020 and released his first title track “I’m America” on February 9th, 2024. “For me, the demons of PTSD knock the loudest when it’s quiet,” says Hasting, “When I have a guitar in my hands I find peace.”

Opening for Scotty Hasting will be special performances from local country music artists Carter Lybrand, Brendan Roberts, Robert Stevens. All three special guests are graduates of the Big Red Barn Retreat’s flagship training program, Warrior PATHH (Progressive & Alternative Training for Helping Heroes). The Warrior PATHH program is the only privately funded program that is proven to cultivate and facilitate posttraumatic growth- the positive psychological change experienced as a result of struggling with highly challenging, highly stressful situations.
