The 22nd annual Wild West Festival in Hays is scheduled for June 30 to July 4.

Hays Post is partnering with the Wild West Festival committee to offer a sneak peak at the performers taking the stage this year.

The name Homebrew hit us as we were eating at Mo’s Place in Beaver, Kan. Mo brews his own beer, which gave us the idea, but when we realized that all of the members of the band were born or “homebrewed” in Great Bend, we were all sold on the name.

Brothers Aaron and Ryan Hammeke are cousin’s to Kyle Jeffrey. Code Cale had Aaron playing drums for him in a band he formed in high school. Kyle had played in a band with his brother Kevin before playing in another band with Aaron, which featured Hammekes from a previous generation including Aaron and Ryan’s dad, Colin Hammeke. Years passed and Ryan started playing bass guitar. With all four members living in Barton County at the time, the group had a couple jam sessions and quickly decided to take the show on the road.
