The final day of the Spoon River Scenic Drive deserves a strong finish, and the Bernadotte Bar is the perfect setting. On Sunday, October 12th at Noon (12pm), Montana-raised country/Americana artist Jaden Decker will perform by the banks of the Spoon River.
Jaden has spent the past few years touring nationally, playing nearly 300 shows, and connecting with audiences through songs that balance grit and heart. After two well-received performances in Bernadotte, he returns for an afternoon of live music to close out the weekend.
Drinks, food, and the river as your backdrop – this is one Scenic
Drive stop you won’t want to miss.
