A Joliet winery is adding a touch of Nashville this summer with a new concert series: “Nashville on the Hill.”

The concerts will be at 2 p.m. Sunday and Sunday, Aug. 18 at Bishops Hill Winery, 310 Bridge St. in Joliet. Two Nashville, Tennessee-based musicians will perform their original music and select covers on the winery’s lawn at each two-hour show. Performances will move inside during inclement weather.

Damon Zdunich, co-owner of Bishops Hill, said he wants to build on past live music events at the winery and Joliet’s historical “big music bent.”

“We just feel you can never go wrong with quality music,” Zdunich said, adding that he wants to “offer something special” to patrons.

Tickets are $60 for the series or $25 per show. Each ticket includes a glass of wine per show. Charcuterie boards, salsa and chips, and a variety of Bishops Hill’s wines will be for sale.

Patrons can park adjacent to the “castle” building of Bridge Street or in Bishops Hill’s lot on Summit Street.
