Live at Bear Cave - Beatnik Brothers
Saturday November 22nd
The Beatnik Brothers bring a smooth blend of vintage soul, bluesy grooves, and laid-back rock that feels like a road trip down Route 66 with the windows rolled low. With tight rhythms, heartfelt vocals, and a vibe that nods to the cool swagger of the '60s beat generation, this duo knows how to set a mood. Whether you're kicking back with a craft beer or swaying to the rhythm on your feet, the Beatnik Brothers deliver the kind of timeless sound that turns any evening into a story worth telling. Catch them live from 6–9pm and let the good vibes roll.
