Canberra's Dr Stovepipe, who play a blend of ragtime, swing, old-timey and hokum blues, will perform sets between noon and 3pm.

"We're trying to make Lucknow a bit of a destination on the weekends, and music is one way we can do that," says Larder and Home's Jeremy Norris.

The venue for live music is a natural amphitheatre at the back of the store, which Mr Norris said has a capacity for about 200 with suitable spacing.

"We weren't looking for this venue, it just sort of came to us," he said.

"I was standing outside one day and thought that it would be great to try something with this beautiful northerly aspect."

With poor weather forecast for Sunday Mr Norris was crossing his fingers, as rain will mean the outdoor show will have to be postponed.

He planned to host gigs once a month.

Mr Norris expressed confidence about Larder and Home's future and said the store was already developing "a really good, positive vibe".

Outdoor furniture is due to arrive soon from Melbourne and a wood-fired pizza oven will operate on weekends.
