Daniel Lim
Daniel and the Sparrows is the moniker of musician, songwriter, and producer Daniel Lim. His work is rooted in storytelling—capturing real, often overlooked moments through authentic and emotionally rich music.
The phrase “and the Sparrows” is inspired by a timeless idea: that not even a single sparrow falls unnoticed. It reflects a desire to honor quiet, unseen lives and the deeper worth found in small, everyday stories
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” — Matthew 10:29–31

Their setlists are built for anyone who loves good music, no matter the genre. From smooth ballads, gritty southern rock, pop hits with a twist, and foot-stomping country anthems.
She’s Wearing Plaid isn’t just a name. It’s a bit of an experience. Come for the music, stay for the stories & banter, and leave with a few new favorite original songs or re-imagined covers!
Wear your coziest sweater!
Old Fashioneds
Your oasis from Christmas Walk weekend! 🎄🎁
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!
HEaters will be on and ready! Wear your cozy sweaters!
Nathan Fisher
