The 2021-22 season of Rhythms & Brews will stage 25 original music shows. This mid-week concert series features popular artists from past Mile of Music Festivals, sprinkled in with a few acts you may not know, but you should! Our goal with this special series is to bring you top national, state and regional singer-songwriters performing their handcrafted songs and sharing stories from the road in an intimate, music-first setting! The music is FREE for 2021 (and soon 2022) Music-Makers, and just $5 to the general public, so we hope you’ll join us!
