Live Music

We’re excited to welcome The Sunflower Headlights to the Long Grove Craft Beer Fest!

The Sunflower Headlights are a motley band of wayward Chicago musicians who deliver folk rock tunes influenced by the sounds of the 1960's and 1970's. They play regularly at venues throughout the Midwest, including many popular restaurants, bars, breweries, community centers and concert halls.
