Local Food & Craft Beer
Live Music Featuring Jeff Yantz
What pairs perfectly with great local food and drink? How about some live music, featuring singer/songwriter Jeff Yantz.
Jeff is a Michigan-born singer-songwriter blending Americana, folk, and pop with sharp storytelling, memorable melodies, and an easygoing live presence. A founding member of the One Trick Ponies, in the mid-1990's, Yantz has spent decades writing, recording, and performing both solo and alongside a rotating cast of talented musicians.
His live shows mix original songs with thoughtfully chosen covers, moving from intimate acoustic moments to upbeat, crowd-friendly grooves—all delivered with plenty of personality and a genuine connection to the room. Whether on a festival stage, in a listening room, or somewhere in between, Jeff Yantz brings a distinctly Midwestern mix of songs, stories, humor, and heart.
Follow the Jeff Yantz Music page on Facebook or check his YouTube page out.
