It was a pleasure to host Brian Martin from the University of Wollongong! 🎙️ We explored the "Backfire Model" and its fascinating application in Minneapolis. If you're interested in how tactics of outrage and institutional responses collide, this is a must-watch. 🛡️💥

Tickets to June 7’s Ranch Night BBQ & Concert are available for purchase this morning at 10 AM at duttonranchnight.com. Chris Dutton announced the one-night, one-time-only event to be held at his family’s farm in Flushing earlier this year. 90s country music sensation Sammy Kershaw is slated to headline. Along with General Admission and free overnight parking, Dutton has announced a Premium ticket available for purchase. A General Admission experience is $45, while the Premium offering is $80. Ranch Night BBQ & Concert attendees can expect a unique farm-to-table concert experience, the bulk of the food offerings pasture-raised and hand-fed a few hundred feet away. Everything from Wagyu brisket and burnt ends to ribeyes and chuckeyes, as well as burgers and all-beef wagyu hotdogs, will be available. Additional food options and day-of service will be provided by The Pike 40 Restaurant & Bar.

Country star Sammy Kershaw is familiar with Belmont County after a number of performances at Jamboree in the Hills. Sammy Kershaw, the renowned country artist, achieved immense success with three platinum and six gold albums, selling over 5 million records and nearly 100 million songs. Hailed as the “heir apparent” to George Jones, he shaped the ’90s country music scene, drawing inspiration from legends like Conway Twitty. Kershaw’s chart-topping journey began with “Cadillac Style,” followed by hits like “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful” and successful albums such as “Haunted Heart.” Joining Sammy Kershaw will be Bryan Martin, a 35-year-old breakout country artist who has garnered recognition for his candid storytelling. Albums like “If It Was Easy” and “Poets & Old Souls” have made a significant impact in country music with over 300 million cumulative worldwide streams and notable collaborations. Local and regional acoustic acts will round out the musical lineup. When contemplating the event’s conception, Dutton noted the absence of other events of its kind both locally and nationally.

After decades of surface mining in the Flushing area, the Dutton family worked for years to reclaim the property for the cattle farm. “This is the only true farm-to-table concert that we know of where the featured food is sourced directly on-site and national recording artists are on stage,” he said. “We’re really excited to offer this to our community!” Additional features of Ranch Night BBQ & Concert include farm tours, whiskey tent and free overnight parking. Current plans do not include future installments, therefore attendance to this one-night, one-time-only event is strongly encouraged. “We’re taking some Blame My Roots Fest ‘lemons’ and making lemonade, and smoking and grilling our own Dutton Cattle beef for whoever wants to show up,” Dutton continued. “We’re planning to make it one hell of a party, and we’d love to see both new and familiar faces there!” Ranch Night BBQ & Concert tickets are available for purchase at 10 AM.
