Head over to our St. Charles brewery on Thursday, May 16, for a special night of fantastic food and live music.

5pm: The Curious Crow

6pm: Pete Jive LIVE

If you haven't experience the Curious Crow's food yet, do NOT hesitate. It's on a whole new level of its own and the perfect fit for the energetic talent of Pete Jive.

Riverland presents a special Thursday evening of live music and fantastic food on May 11.

5pm: The Curious Crow Food Truck
6pm: Pete Jive live on the patio (or inside weather pending)

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
When Pete Jive sings, charisma glides out of him and hugs you. Jive's gyrating, crazy legs maneuvers, turn-on-a-dime leaving two nickels syncopated rhythms, and punchy lyrics will heart-imprint you. A Pete Jive performance is an all-in, no one left seated affair, where Jive locks eyes, ears, legs, voice, fingers, and rapt attention around his audience. You don't hear a Pete Jive set; you and Pete live through it, together—that's the attuned intimacy Pete delivers to audiences.
