What Venues Are Saying:
We here at Sarver Winery love the BrewKats and so do our customers. They're very talented, know how to engage a crowd, and their song selection appeals to all ages. Super entertaining, and you just can't help but get your groove on.
Erin Sarver, Sarver Winery
If the BrewKats are here, I can expect a full house. They bring new material, new arrangements, and that special energy to the stage. I always tell my customers who don't know about the BrewKats, "come check them out, you won't be disappointed.” Mike Brewer plays these songs like they were meant to be played.

The BrewKats have been a fan favorite at Bennett Vineyards for many years. Their leader, Mike Brewer, shines with his guitar playing abilities. His vocals are some of the best in the area.
