🎶 Brookfield talent takes the stage at Music on Grand!

Music on Grand returns this Saturday, Aug. 29, with a full lineup of live music—and this weekend’s opening acts have some great connections to Brookfield.

🌙 Winter’s Moon — 12:30 p.m.
A Brookfield-based band blending rock, jam and classic sounds. Made up of “wizards, musicians and assorted magical troublemakers,” they’re ready to cast a spell on the Music on Grand crowd.

☘️ Ar Ais Aris — 1:30 p.m.
The trio brings its signature mix of Irish and American folk ballads. For member John Roche, Saturday’s performance is a special homecoming—he’s been a proud Brookfield resident and active part of the local music scene since 2001.

🎸 Not Yet — 2:30 p.m.
This energetic Chicagoland cover band brings rock, blues and country to the stage. Guitarist Luca Razzano has deep Brookfield roots as a longtime student of A Sound Education, with family and friends throughout the community.

Come out Saturday and support these talented musicians with Brookfield connections! 🎵
