It’s a little different when we’re playing for a private group, like this upcoming night for Doug’s crowd. It’s a chance to settle in with folks while they catch up, reminisce, and enjoy a few tunes in the background. There’s a certain sense of familiarity that comes with returning to a previous gig, mixed with a bit of anticipation for how it all might evolve.
The last time we were there was a Kentucky Derby party a few years back, and I still remember the vibe (eeek, sorry, but I’ll backtrack if needed) – friends laughing, hats aplenty, and the energy (better!) seemed infectious, to say the least. Doug was a great host then, and I can’t help but be curious about how the crowd will react this time around. For us, it’s also about seeing how we’ve grown as musicians since that last show.
We’ve been working on fine-tuning our set, with a couple of new songs we’ve added to the mix. I think we’re ready to step things up a notch, and who knows, we might even include a few horse-themed songs to really get in the spirit!
Details
- Date: May 2, 2026
- Time: 7PM – 9PM
- Location: Private Event – Kewanee, IL
- Who is playing: Bell & Field
- What to expect: A mix of familiar and new songs, possibly some horse songs!
As Bell & Field, we often lean into a blend of acoustic sounds that convey both intimacy and fun. For a private event like this, the set tends to be a little more relaxed. We get to pick songs that really resonate with the crowd in that moment.
About the Venue
We won’t be dishing out any specifics since it’s a private event, but returning to Doug’s means we likely already have a history with the folks gathered. The last show there was quite enjoyable, filled with laughter and a strong sense of connection. Incidents like that create a sort of anticipation when we come back.
Looking forward to another fun night with Doug and friends!
