Singer-songwriter headlines Rhythm & Brews next week

By Lightning Reports, Published: September 9, 2026

Brennen Leigh, a singer, songwriter, guitar and mandolin player whose songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett and others, headlines the show when the Rhythm & Brews outdoor concert returns on Thursday, Sept. 17.

The Dudes, the opening act kicking off at 5:30, play in a string band style that was common a century ago, drawing from a vast catalog of songs that reflects the strong friendship that is at the beating heart of this musical collective.

Families can find plenty of entertainment at the Kids Zone, presented by Mike’s on Main Street, where younger guests can enjoy activities designed just for them. Meanwhile, adults can unwind in the Rhythm & Brews beer, cider, and wine garden, featuring a variety of locally crafted beverages from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Bold Rock Hard Cider, Guidon Brewing Co., Oklawaha Brewing Co., Dry Falls Brewery, Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards and Flat Rock Cider Co.

Please leave pets and coolers at home. Chairs are allowed on the Wells Fargo side of the event near the Kids Zone. There are several free and paid parking options available near the show. The closest paid parking is in the private lot at Barnwell and Main (with access from King Street only). On-street parking is free outside of Main Street and the avenues to Church and King streets.
