A Night to Remember at Pour Bros.

Bell & Field live at Pour Bros. Railside Series
Finding our groove as the sun sets on the Railside Series.

We can’t say enough about what a fantastic evening we had on June 28 at Pour Bros. Craft Taproom in Moline! From start to finish, everything about this year’s Railside Series performance was memorable—from the warm hospitality of Matthew and the Pour Bros. team to the wonderful crowd who arrived early, giving us time to catch up with familiar faces like our dear friend Maureen. Unlike last year’s unexpectedly chilly weather, this year’s warmth was beautifully offset by plenty of shade and a gentle breeze, making it an ideal evening for live music.

Highlights From the Stage

  • We debuted our version of Dan Fogelberg’s classic “Part of the Plan”—a bit rough around the edges, but the enthusiastic response was incredibly encouraging!
  • A special birthday request had us diving into “Ophelia” by The Band, along with crowd favorites “Summer Breeze” and “Ventura Highway.”
  • We had fun dedicating America’s “Lonely People” to a playful single audience member—we love engaging with our crowd.
  • The energy culminated in a spirited rendition of “Small Town,” where Tom held the note on that final “yeah-ee-yeah” longer than ever before, earning an unforgettable applause from everyone.

A Little Help From Our Friends

Mid-performance, a swarm of gnats decided to join us on stage. Thankfully, one lovely audience member came to our rescue with her homemade bug spray. It worked wonders (and no glowing skin the next day—promise!).

Lighting Up the Night

Matthew at Pour Bros. provided impressive stage lighting, adding two large four-bars to our own setup of 4 four-bars and additional uplights. As the sun set, the stage transformed into a vibrant spectacle, enhancing the entire experience.

Coming Back for New Year’s Eve!

We were ecstatic to confirm we’ll return to Pour Bros. Craft Taproom for our third consecutive New Year’s Eve performance. It’s always rewarding when a venue invites us back for special occasions like this, and we appreciate the extra hospitality, including hotel accommodations after a late night.
