With a memorable rock sound that includes country/bluesy ballads to funky bass driven dance songs this Midwestern band has a lot of experience collectively bringing their sound to many clubs and festivals though out the years. Stealin’ the Farm has a powerful and soulful sound that is led by the founding member Marcus Safirt on Vocals and Keyboards. Pat Conway brings the funky low end to the band on the bass. The two guitar players Mike Kneeland and Tim Vanderlin seemingly play as one to bring rich tones and melodies to the mix. The beats are kept by Justin Belcher and Kevan Watson who keep it all in time.
Stealin The Farm strives to write and perform music that connects with people and will in turn make for a high energy and memorable experience

Whether it’s McGilligan’s with Black Raspberry & Pineapple, Nigel Tufnel with Bourbon-soaked oak chips or The Blacksmith with Coffee & Coconut, our brew team always has some new tricks up their sleeves when creating these firkins! See what they come up with next! Fun fact: A firkin is unfiltered, unpasteurized beer, which is conditioned (including secondary fermentation) and served from a cask without additional nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. Cask ale may also be referred to as real ale, a term coined by the Campaign for Real Ale, often now extended to cover bottle-conditioned beer as well.

The Livery has a 250 capacity entertainment venue, housed inside our historic 115-year-old brewpub! We offer a “Michigan-centric” event calendar each month, with most live entertainment taking place on Friday and Saturday. We occasionally book a Thursday or Sunday event, given a strong history in our market. Otherwise, our focus is on our established local bands, Michigan-based bands, and other strong Regional/National touring bands. While we always like to give local bands the chance to cut their teeth on our stage, we simply cannot accommodate all requests….and we often find it difficult to book bands from out of the area, given the volume of requests we receive. If your band has a strong draw, and feel you would be a good fit to play our stage, please email booking@liverybrew.com and include any pertinent links and press material. Cheers!

**Please note that we are typically booking 6 months ahead in the calendar, and our programming focuses on original material**
