FEATURING: EASY RIDERS
Easy Riders are based out of Peoria IL, but the sounds from their music make you think you are in the blues clubs of Chicago, like you attended free music in Golden Gate Park in the 60’s. Sounds of Jerry Garcia, Duane Allman & Derek Trucks slide guitar ring through the air also, the Master sticks of Buddy Rich & the vintage 70’s bass of John Paul Jones. Commanding Lead & vocal Harmonies make the band sound bigger than they truly are. Music that hits the SOUL!
Lead guitar/singer Mike Miller writes from the point of view of outcasts and beatniks, bringing his own perspective and wit to his traveling experiences throughout the country. With a smoky voice self-trained on blues classics, West coast music, & southern slide guitar. A rhythm section combines a vintage sound with some of the best musicians in the Midwest region.

What is Goats + Yoga like?
Registration begins 30 minutes before your session begins.
When you come to DESTIHL, follow the signs for check-in. You'll check in, sign a waiver, and grab a drink and shop while we wait for guests to arrive and your session to start. After you get your drinks, we'll have a quick intro and you'll set up your mats or beach towels and meet the goats. Yep, you can bring your drinks into the yoga area! You will be given cups of goat treats to help persuade the goats to come to you. There will be some who will be on top of you, and some who'd rather watch you from afar or just eat out of your hand. You can be as involved (or not) as you'd like. We can also strategically place the right goats on top of you for just the right selfie!
This is a VERY informal class! You are welcome to bring your yoga mat, or a beach towel will be just fine, too. If you have a mat you cherish, we recommend you use a beach towel. We have Goat + Yoga towels for purchase, too! If you are no longer able to attend, you may transfer your ticket to a friend. Just give us a heads up! Not big into yoga? No worries. Lots of people just come for the baby goat snuggles, too. But we DO have a certified instructor to lead the class just in case you are!
If you have additional questions, feel free to call Tara @ 217-899-4562 or email info@willowcityfarm.com. Most importantly, have a great time!

FEATURING: UNION AVENUE
Founded in August of 2021, Union Avenue had a grand plan to bring authentic rockabilly music to the public. Formed by seasoned musicians, from inception to first show was a mere month! The recipe of astounding vocals supported by vintage electric guitar, upright “slap style” bass, and rock-inspired drums was an instant hit with audiences.
The energy and vibrance of the early 1950’s rockabilly movement is showcased along with rowdy Jump Blues and some early country music. Rare, unissued songs from the “Sun Records era” are foundational, as well as new takes on some more recent cuts from not only the United States, but also from impressive rockabilly and country artists from Europe.
Christopher Myers fronts the band in 1950’s era clothing which brings an authentic visual element to the stage, while his incredible vocals sonically capture the audience. Supported by hypnotizing slap bass rhythms by Steve Knecht and driven by the powerful drumbeats of Francis Lucente, song after song draws the audience in wondering what will happen next!
Union Avenue’s grand plan to bring authentic rockabilly music to the public has been a great success! Come and see it for yourself… and be prepared to have a great rockin’ time!

FEATURING: FRESH HOPS
Fresh Hops is a touring 4 piece Multi-Genre bending, Rock band from Northwest Indiana. The band formed in March 2008 as a musical improvisational outlet among friends. Now Fresh Hops has evolved into a captivating, high energy live act.
The group has seen numerous line ups and instrument inclusion which has led to an eclectic mix of sounds and atmospheres. As writers and performers Fresh Hops constantly blurs the lines between genres and style, often during the course of a single song.
That "anything goes" attitude has translated to a stage show that remains fresh and fun from show to show. The realization that jazz, classic soul, bluegrass, classical, metal and progressive jam rock can all shake hands and play nice has guided them to create remarkable tunes from an ever-expanding palette.

FEATURING: LUNAR TICKS

Each setlist is formed from their diverse and expansive song list of originals and covers; debuting new material at almost every show. Extended improvisational passages can turn on a dime or meditate and unfurl in unexpected ways. Lunar Ticks aim to create a unique and memorable experience every time they pick up their instruments.

FEATURING: TAYLOR STEELE & THE LOVE PREACHERS
Taylor Steele & the Love Preachers are a four piece Americana band with a powerful woman singer/songwriter as its driving force. Based out of Effingham, IL, they perform a powerful blend of roots rock with soul, country, blues, and funk influences. The group performs original music written by Taylor Steele, 27 year old rhythm guitarist and vocalist, along with their interpretations of eclectic music by their favorite artists.
The Love Preachers have a way of sneaking up on you. The music is soulful, but sublime. The songs are smart and original, with roots that take you through rock and roll back to the blues of the old south. The vocal quality of Taylor Steele is reminiscent of great legendary singers like Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples but also modern stars like Susan Tedeschi and Gillian Welch. Stemming from these influences, she has immense control of her voice as she belts out notes and improvises, all while finding a beautiful balance between vibrato, tone, and projection. Just when you think you have it figured out, the Love Preachers start preaching, Taylor’s voice starts soaring, and they take you for a ride you won't soon forget.
Taylor Steele started singing when she was a young girl, joining her family on stage singing old time country music, 60's/70's rock and bar band blues. She has covered a lot of ground since then and has spent a lot of time developing her self taught finger picking style. Growing up, she would get lost in discovering and interpreting folk/rock, old country, and soul/blues artists including Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Band, Hank Williams Sr., Son House, Jimmie Rodgers, Neil Young, and Bonnie Raitt. This has informed Taylor’s songwriting and provided her with a wide range of excellent influences from which to draw.
The band consists of lead vocals, acoustic resonator, and electric telecaster by Taylor Steele, lead guitar by Chris Lee, bass and vocals by Garrett Burris, and drums and vocals by Kyle Heynen.
