- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 06:30 pm – Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: You just might want to mosey around to the south door on Saturday, November 15th, about 6:00 p.m. Give the door a tap, whisper the password, and slip inside where the Blind Swine Speakeasy is serving up giggle water for those in the know.

Back in the Roaring Twenties, Americans were finding new ways to cut loose. Time-saving gadgets at home and a growing focus on health gave folks more room for leisure. The freedom “to go somewhere” was made possible by the automobile, opening the road for visiting pals, vacationing, or just stepping out for a joyride. With this new mobility came innovations that made travel just swell: drive-in restaurants, chain eateries, car radios, snappy sunglasses, and instant cameras that let people capture the fun. Of course, more jalopies meant more traffic, and that’s when inventions like traffic lights, car registration, and driver’s licenses kept the roads safe and people busted.

The Museum’s old garage is the tops for exploring how the automobile transformed our rural community, bringing fresh opportunities, new businesses, and plenty of visitors. And on this night, it’s also the cat’s meow for a little leisure of our own. Sally’s sultry vocals and smooth keyboard, paired with Don’s slick guitar and harmonica, along with Mike Grimm keeping the beat, will fill the space with soulful sounds, making this an evening you won’t want to miss.

Want in? Text Swine to 309-837-2613 for the ever-changing secret password (keeps the feds guessing). Slip the gatekeeper at the south door a fin ($5), and you’re in.

Today, the duo lives near Rushville, Illinois, and performs an eclectic mix of blues, soul, jazz, country, standards, rock, Latin, surf, and original music. Sally’s spectacular vocals take center stage, supported by Don’s expressive guitar and harmonica playing, along with Sally’s own skillful work on keyboard and keyboard bass. Together, they create a rich, soulful sound that captivates audiences.
