About Rock the Barn
Created in 2023, Rock the Barn is a charity concert founded by brothers Callum and Thomas Buckley to raise funds and awareness for mental health research and care in Canada.
Inspired by the loss of a close friend to mental health challenges, the event was created as a way to honour those affected and spark meaningful change. What began as a heartfelt idea quickly gained momentum, raising over $26,000 in its inaugural year. Now in its second year, Rock the Barn aims to raise $40,000 in 2025 to support mental health research through CAMH and to support families healing from Illness at Woodfield Nature Camps.
With powerful performances, a strong community spirit, and a cause that touches so many, Rock the Barn is more than just a concert – it’s a movement for hope, healing and impact. Join us in supporting mental health and making a difference. Every ticket brings us one step closer to change.
