Sunday afternoons are kind of our favorite time to play, and this one’s on the calendar: on Sunday, March 1, we’re bringing Bell & Field out to Hidden Hills Vineyard & Winery in Galesburg, IL for a laid-back stretch of acoustic songs and wine from 1:00-4:00 PM.

When, Where, and What’s Going On

• When: Sunday, March 1, 2026, 1:00-4:00 PM
• Where: Hidden Hills Vineyard & Winery – 120 Hidden Dr, Galesburg, IL 61401
• Who: Live acoustic set by Bell & Field
• What to Expect: Classic songs from the ’60s-’90s, good wine, and a few hours where you can actually slow down and look out over the vines.
• Website: Hidden Hills Vineyard & Winery

What Our Set Feels Like in a Room Full of Wine Glasses

We’re an acoustic piano-and-guitar duo, and we keep it pretty simple on purpose: two voices, guitar, keys, and just enough sound to fill the room without making you yell across the table. Most of what we play is from the ’60s through the ’90s-the kind of songs you already know the words to, even if you haven’t heard them in a while.

If you’re the type who likes to really listen, you’ll be able to hear every lyric. If you’re there for a tasting and a long conversation, we’ll be the soundtrack in the background instead of the thing you have to talk over. Expect a mix of slower, more romantic tunes and some lighter, upbeat classics so you can sip, talk, or wander around the property and not feel like you’re missing the “main event.”

The Drive Out to Hidden Hills (and Why We Like Playing There)

Hidden Hills lives up to its name-you wind your way out of town, turn a corner, and suddenly there are rolling hills, rows of vines, and a tasting room that makes it very easy to say “sure, we’ve got time for one more pour.” It’s close enough to Galesburg to be an easy Sunday drive, but far enough that it feels like you’ve stepped out of your usual routine for a few hours.

The crowd that shows up here is usually a good mix: people who are into the wine, people who just needed an excuse to get out of town for the afternoon, and folks who are happy to sit, listen, and stay put instead of rushing off to the next thing. That slower pace fits us really well.

Come Spend the Afternoon With Us

If you’re hunting for a low-key way to spend a Sunday-date, group of friends, or just you and a glass of something good-come hang out. We’ll bring the songs, Hidden Hills will handle the wine, and you can decide if you’re there to listen closely, talk quietly, or just stare out at the vines for a while.

Got a favorite classic tune you’re hoping we’ll cover, or a go-to wine you always order at Hidden Hills? Drop it in the comments so we know what you’re hoping to hear-or sip-when you get there.
