Jaik Willis is a strumming and drumming one-man band who performs around 300 shows a year, including Bonnaroo, Summer Camp Music Fest, Dunegrass, and the Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Fest. We are so lucky to have him out for another fabulous Wine Wednesday, where we have some bottles priced at $25.

With his textured vocals and blues-infused rock, Ed Gershon is a singer-songwriter who brings heart and soul to his live performances. His performances blend the storytelling of The Beatles, the improvisational spirit of Dave Matthews Band, and the raw energy of The Black Crowes, taking audiences on a dynamic musical journey.
The Chicago-based artist co-founded and led the eclectic rock band Butterfly In Traffic for over a decade. Now performing as a solo artist, Ed's intimate 2024 EP Solo & Acoustic features the single Street Lights. The album showcases the raw energy and emotional depth honed on stages like Chicago's famous Cubby Bear and Milwaukee's Summerfest.

Colin Ryan and Ben Bolero have been playing together for a long time! Listen to this review:
"Excellent musicians that play unique covers of songs in an original funky way. plus they're super nice people. Highly recommend seeing them every chance you get. You won't be disappointed."
We know that we're BIG fans.

Drew Clausen is the original Sunday Funday dude.

If you like country, you will love Drew. If you’re not a country fan, be prepared to be converted. We’re not kidding… He’s that good.

No better place to spend a Sunday afternoon than our all-weather patio where we’re ready for any kind of weather.

JJ has a unique songbook. His blend of folk/rock acoustic covers such as: Hozier, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Stone Temple Pilots and more should hit the right chord for a summer evening on the patio.

We love having Terry on the patio—one of our all-time favorite musicians! He’s basically a one-man band, playing incredible originals and a mix of covers that’ll keep you guessing.

Make sure to book a reservation to enjoy a wine Wednesday on our patio with some tunes!

Harry has recorded and toured both nationally and internationally with Grammy Award-winning blues legends, James Cotton (Muddy Waters side man) and Sugar Blue (recorded with the Rolling Stones). Harry’s performed and shared the stage with Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Dickey Betts, Elvin Bishop, Jeff Healey, and Buddy Miles.

We like to keep the variety coming out here on the patio.

Pleased as punch to have these guys out again. We don’t know what they’ll play…Southern and Classic Rock, Blues, Swing, Jazz Standards, Cinematic Instrumentals, Folk Music and of course, Bluegrass, but we’re in!

The Sunflower Headlights are a motley band of wayward Chicago musicians who deliver folk rock tunes influenced by the sounds of the 1960's and 1970's. In addition to their original music, the Headlights cover jukebox songs throughout the decades, from classic rock to 90’s/2000’s nostalgic hits.

In other words. Wear your dancing shoes AND make your reservation

Check out this Review! “Saw the Old Fashioneds live last night at Sturdy Shelter Brewing in Batavia. It was the second time I’d seen them perform and they were amazing! Every song a hit, every guitar solo was killer and vocals by Pat and Marco just gorgeous. They are seasoned musicians with such chemistry after playing together for so many years. (25ish maybe? Must confirm) I heard them perform Norah Jones, Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Tears for Fears, Shania Twain, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, I even remember some Flashdance, too! Check them out for sure! Great time!”
