Touch of Brews 2022: The Year the Family Tradition Took Root
The 2nd annual packed one golden October Saturday, eleven to eight, with six plus bands channeling the Grateful Dead, an expanded free Kid Zone, and every ticket giving back to Nashville classrooms. Presented by Terrapin Beer Company.

Highlights from Touch of Brews 2022
Dan Lebowitz, Artist at Large
ALO and Phil Lesh & Friends guitarist Dan Lebowitz roamed the day sitting in across sets, anchoring two Nashville Is Dead performances with Mike Miz, while Hooteroll?, Tennessee Dead, and The Stolen Faces kept the Dead spirit rolling from eleven to eight.
The Kid Zone Grew Up
Year two doubled down on families: an expanded free Kid Zone, kids 10 and under in free, The Rock N Roll Playhouse's GD Edition for the little ones, and Ben & Jerry's on scoop duty. And that year, a portion of every ticket supported BeWell in School, bringing mindfulness tools to Nashville classrooms.
Familiar Faces, Then and Now
The Tennessee Warblers played the 2nd annual, and they're on the bill again for 2026, four years and two venues later. Some traditions you start on purpose. The best ones just keep showing up.
With gratitude
