Love and Theft- 07:00PM to 11:30PM
Love And Theft — Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson — launched with the No. 1 country smash “Angel Eyes” and top 10 hit “Runaway.” The longtime friends and bandmates have gone on to garner more than 3 billion radio impressions, over 300 million plays on Pandora, and are nearing 3 million music video streams for the critically acclaimed “Whiskey On My Breath,” an epic ballad that “returns Love And Theft to the harmony-rich sound that first turned heads when they started out,” (Rolling Stone). The ACM/CMA/CMT nominated duo has built a loyal fan base through their high-energy shows, infectious harmonies, and signature songwriting and is poised for the next chapter in their musical journey. The pair is currently putting the final touches on their fourth studio album, produced by legendary music icon Jim Ed Norman, and will release on Curb Records later this year.

Makers Market at The Nest Coworking
(820 SW Adams Street, Suite C) in the Warehouse District
brought to you by Lettering Works
Come support both up and coming and established local creatives, creators, makers, and artists as they proudly showcase their work!
Our lineup of creatives features some great local talent that you won't always find at the bigger events. Investing in regular market equipment can be a big cost and step for creatives, so this event seeks to provide an alternative option to those who may not have the ability to regularly show at events like the Peoria Riverfront Market or larger festivals.
Whether you are stopping by after the Riverfront Market or coming exclusively for this event, we look forward to seeing you there!
Please feel free to invite your friends and family and help show some love to our Peoria-area makers!
FREE Parking available on SW Adams Street (between Sugar: Wood-Fired Bistro & Gourmet Treats and Zion Coffee Co) as well as in public lot at corner of SW Adams and Oak. Additional parking available in alley by Gottagettadeal / Ear In The Envelope Inc.
