Bring your chairs, bring your friends and family, bring your favorite beverage and maybe your swimsuit, and join us for a relaxing evening of music, community, and FOOD under the trees. It’s our last event of the season, and dinner is on us— smoked turkey, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, Mac n cheese, loaded potatoes, salad, the works! See you in less than 24 hours!

If you missed New Souls at Pour Bros. Craft Taproom Champaign tonight, you can catch Mike & Brandon on the deck 8/10! See y’all then!

RAIN OR SHINE!
Tonight's Souls & Sass show will go on, even if Kelly & Co. at 40 North has to make the super-sad decision to call off Friday Night Live tonight because of the rain.

We love playing with our friend Sass and so rarely get to do it, so we'll adapt as needed.

We can do our set inside of Pour Bros.
And if FNL has to be called off, we can starts at 8pm instead of 9pm.
While it won't exactly make up for it if eight bands have to be canceled, we hope at least it's something!
