2 to 5 PM
Live Music by
BRIANNA ADAMS
Join us on Saturday, March 28th as fan favorite, BRIANA ADAMS, returns to the Front Porch with her unique brand of music from 2 to 5 PM.  

She’s not exactly a rebel, but with her musical mashup of Waylon, Skynyrd, and Janis Joplin, you could be forgiven for thinking she is. In reality, Texas singer/songwriter Briana Adams is a sweet-natured Southern crooner who really just wants to share her music with the world. Her songs are a honky tonk acid trip of classic dancehall and 70’s outlaw country rolled into a tight-knit package, all headlined by a big Texas voice and an unmistakable style  
that’s all her own. And if you catch a little twist of blues and rock’n’ roll in the vocal, that’s not by accident. Growing up in a small Texas town like Winchester, that’s the way country music is done! 

Come on out for a day of Porch Sittin', Wine Sippin', Country Trippin', FUN! We're open from Noon to 6 PM.  
Wine Slushes are BACK!
After taking a break for the Winter, our SLUSH MACHINE is back and will be making delicious WINE SLUSHES again beginning in March!
