Jesse Dean Brings Friday Night Live Music to Wilson Valley Mercantile
There are worse ways to end a workweek than with live music and Texas whiskey.
Quite a few, actually.
On Friday, August 21, 2026, Jesse Dean performs live at Wilson Valley Mercantile in Little River-Academy as part of the distillery's Friday night live music lineup.
The music runs from 6 to 9 p.m.
Friday Night at Wilson Valley
Wilson Valley Mercantile regularly brings live music to the distillery, giving visitors an opportunity to explore its spirits while catching local and regional musicians.
For this Friday night, Jesse Dean takes the stage for three hours of live music.
It's a simple formula: grab a drink, find a seat, and enjoy the show.
Sometimes Friday night doesn't require further engineering.
About Wilson Valley Mercantile
Located in Little River-Academy, between Temple and Belton, Wilson Valley Mercantile combines a distillery and tasting room with the feel of a Texas gathering place.
The distillery produces its own Texas spirits while regularly hosting live music, markets, seasonal celebrations, and other community events.
That makes Wilson Valley worth keeping an eye on even when there isn't a major whiskey release on the calendar.
And if you're exploring distilleries through Central Texas, it's an easy excuse to wander a little farther off the usual Austin-area path.
