My friend Jerry Kolb presents and promotes a lot of music shows around the area and I recently saw that he was promoting a show at a place I had never visited called, “Evergreen Farm Brewing.” I asked him if there was a bar on this site and he said that there was. Well, I think you know where tonight’s destination is!

And if you don’t, let me spell it out for you: Tonight’s destination is: Evergreen Farm Brewing.

Evergreen Farm Brewing, Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Here we are on the spacious and lovely grounds of Evergreen Farm Brewing. Let’s see if the bar is in this building.

There’s a small bar in here with plenty of their beer that’s brewed right here on the premises, but Ross, who’s bartending here, said there was a bigger bar in the back of this building. So it’s off we go to the back, here at MBIP, size does matter!

Wow, this is so nice back here! There’s tables and chairs and there’s the stage where the live music is going to be happening.

This is such a lovely venue and a cool place to hang out at!

There’s the bar and it’s a nice rustic, wooden rectangular bar.

Madeline was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is serving up one of their beers that’s brewed right here at Evergreen Farm.

Melissa and Adam are the owners of Evergreen Farm Brewing and they said they’ve had a fantastic summer out here.

Adam is the brewmaster and you can read more about him and Evergreen Farm by clicking here. It was great to meet both of them!

Seth, Rob and Brady were enjoying themselves out here and posed for the MBIP Camera. Brady is doing the sound for the show and he is the owner and operator of Varwig Studios.

Tonigh’s show is a free customer appreciation show and here’s the man in charge of tonight’s show, music promoter and organizer, Jerry Kolb.

Jerry puts on wonderful shows around the area and his next one is The Secret Sisters with Speical Guest Star, Mary Bragg.

Great to see Jerry and thanks for all the live music you bring to this area!

Here’s the musicians that are going to be performing tonight, the opening act is Adara Rae and the headliner is Maya de Vitry (seated on the right) who’s playing with Shelby Means and Joel Timmons.

Great to meet all of them and soon we’ll be seeing them onstage here at Evergreen Farm Brewing!

As you can see, a nice crowd has shown up for tonight’s customer appreciation show.

The Pico de Gallo Food Truck was on the premises and serving up tasty food to the crowd.

The show is just about to begin!

Here’s Melissa announcing the first act of the show, Adara Rae.

Adara recently moved to Illinois from Arizona and she’s a very talented musician.

She describes her country tinged sound as a desert-inspired acoustic music.

Adara has performed all over the country including Los Angeles, Chiciago, New York City and now we’re lucky to have her playing her fabulous music here in Central Illionis!

Adara played a wonderful set of original and cover songs and the crowd loved her. You can hear some of her songs online by clicking here.

Here’s Jerry introducing the headliner of this evening’s show, Maya de Vitry!

Maya de Vitry is a Nashville based singer/songwriter who accompanies herself on guitar and fiddle. Tonight she was accompanied with Shelby Means on bass and vocals and Joel Timmons on guitar and vocals.

They’re performing Maya’s original songs and they sound absolutely fabulous!

As the evening progressed the sun went down and the lights went on in the bar and on the musicians.

This was such a wonderful night of music in this paradise-like setting of nature and beer! Check out Maya’s YouTube channel to enjoy her fabulous, original music.

Thanks to all the musicians, Melissa, Adam and Jerry for a fabulous night of live music at Evergreen Farm Brewing!
