Tyler Lane Brings Live Music to Wilson Valley Mercantile
Some Friday nights call for crowded bars, complicated plans, and a reservation you forgot to make.
Others are better spent with a cold drink, a fresh hamburger, and live music playing a few feet away.
On Friday, July 31, Tyler Lane will perform inside the tasting room at Wilson Valley Mercantile in Little River-Academy. Doors open at 5 p.m., with live music beginning at 6 p.m. and continuing until 9 p.m.
There is no cover charge, making this an easy stop for anyone looking to ease into the weekend with Texas spirits, local food, and a relaxed evening of live music.
Cocktails, Lager, Burgers, and Live Music
Wilson Valley Mercantile brings together several things that tend to improve a Friday night: craft cocktails, cold beer, fresh food, and a musician in the tasting room.
Guests can order cocktails made with Wilson Valley spirits, grab a Czech-style lager, and settle in with one of the mercantile’s fresh beef hamburgers served on a brioche bun. Other food options will also be available throughout the evening.
The setting is casual and welcoming, which means this is less of a sit-still-and-whisper kind of performance and more of a grab-a-table, order-a-drink, and enjoy-the-evening kind of affair.
It is also a good excuse to visit Wilson Valley Mercantile for anyone who has not made the trip yet. The distillery and tasting room sit in Little River-Academy, a small Central Texas community located between Temple and Cameron.
