This weekend at Bear Cave Brewing, we're bringing you a performance that blends heart, soul, and serious talent. Dan Schwartz and Joe Savage take the stage from 6–9pm with a sound rooted in Americana, folk, and blues. Dan’s expressive fingerstyle guitar work pairs perfectly with Joe’s haunting pedal steel and dobro, creating an atmosphere that’s both intimate and powerful. These two Minnesota music veterans know how to hold a room, weaving stories through song with warmth and honesty. No cover—just good beer, great music, and a perfect way to spend your evening.
