Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Buddy Guy and Aaron Neville to Headline March 1st, 2014 at Empire Polo Club

Empire Music Ventures is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Rhythm, Wine and Brews Experience on Saturday, March 1st, 2014 at the Empire Polo Club. Live music will set the tone as guests enjoy an extraordinary afternoon of wine and beer tasting at one of the most beautiful venues in Coachella Valley, the Empire Polo Club. Attendees will enjoy wine and beer tasting from 2:00 – 6:00 PM. As the tasting winds down, the music heats up with an evening of rhythm & blues followed by the upbeat sounds of big band swing from 6:00 – 11:30 PM.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will headline the Rhythm, Wine and Brews Experience along with American blues guitarist and singer Buddy Guy and R&B singer Aaron Neville. Other bands that will play during the wine and beer tasting include: Strangers You Know, Caxton, Petty Cash and Penny Unniversity.

This year the Rhythm, Wine and Brews Experience has grown and boasts a longer line-up of bands along with an expanded list of handcrafted beer and wine to taste. A themed art installation is one of several additions this year that will enhance the unique ambiance associated with this annual event.

The upscale theme of the Rhythm, Wine and Brews Experience will continue to draw in attendees looking for that “unique” experience.

“Our vision and goal is to create an extraordinary experience” said Alex Haagen IV, producer of the event. “From the moment people walk through the main gate we want them to enjoy every detail of their day. From the fine beer and wine being poured alongside mouthwatering cuisine to the colorful art pieces, hip décor and the rhythmic sound of live music, it all comes together to create a complete experience.”

The food will be a much bigger part of the event this year. Participating restaurants will offer a selection of options that will compliment the beer and wine being poured. From small tastes to full menu selections, customers will enjoy every bite served.
The selection of wines available to taste has been expanded to include a variety of brands from various regions of California. Samples of handcrafted beer produced by local breweries will be featured in the tasting garden. Attendees will enjoy an impressive variety of tasting options.
