Coming in January…

Nathan Taylor Band

Sunday, January 26

Join the Harvest Sons, an Americana band from Peoria, IL for our January community concert at North Branch.

From their website:

Harvest Sons recreate this feeling through their nostalgia-infused blend of folk, rock and Americana, and transport you into their rust belt state of mind.

Supporting artists like Kevin Costner and Modern West, Anderson East, Honeysuckle and Way Down Wanderers along the way. Harvest Sons have been crafting songs from a Rust Belt state of mind, or so says front man, Seth Samuelson Cocquit since 2016.
