The Experience, Alameda: Alameda Brewing Co Music

The Experience:

What are you doing on Saturday?

Take a break Sat, May 31 from 3-5pm and snag a beer at Alameda Brewing and vibe with the sounds of Kate Burkhart Acoustic Duo.

The Kate Burkart Band is a true Americana blend of rock, twang, and some quiet introspection. The common thread? Lyrics that tell a story and draw the listener in. Most often compared with Lucinda Williams, Kate was recently called “Neil Young with a dash of Karen Carpenter”… shows are everywhere throughout the San Francisco Bay Area! Besides her full band, Kate gigs in an acoustic format, as she will do on Saturday. Take a listen.

Don’t forget you can bring in your own food from nearby restaurants or Alameda Marketplace to nosh on as you sip your brew.

They can’t wait to see you! They’ve been crafting island-inspired brews in Alameda since 2015.

Hours: Tues – Sat 12-10pm; Sun 12-7pm.

Where:

1716 Park Street
