Missouri wine, Missouri sound: Les Bourgeois Vineyards preps summer live-music series
Sip to the beat — or in the rests — this summer when Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport kicks off a summer concert series at its beloved Blufftop space. Patrons can enjoy live music from 6 to 9 p.m. each Friday from June through August.
Among the most intriguing options: Pat Kay (The Kay Brothers, The Spooklights) kicks off the series June 7, with his thoroughly Missouri sound where folk, bluegrass and rock meet.
July 12 features The Goldbugs, a rock outfit centered on the songs of Columbia mainstay John Galbraith. A week later, on July 19, Travis Feutz & The Stardust Cowboys will deliver country music for the Everyman and Everywoman.
On July 26, it's a Missouri two-step when St. Louis rock staple Steve Ewing (of The Urge fame) doubles up with reggae favorite Austin Kolb.
