On March 29th, I indulged in a perfect day blending two of my passions: savoring Florida-crafted spirits at NJoy Distillery and soaking in the electrifying tunes of Crossfire Creek Band. If you’re looking for a unique outing that combines top-notch entertainment with artisanal drinks, this duo delivers an experience you won’t forget.
Nestled in Spring Hill, NJoy Distillery sprawls across an 80-acre ranch where they grow their own grains, crafting exceptional whiskeys and rums—some aged up to a decade. This stunning property isn’t just a distillery; it’s a destination. With ample space for live music, festivals, and gatherings, NJoy offers a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable events. Picture this: an outdoor stage with sweeping views, a lively crowd, and plenty of spots to sip a drink from their bar while soaking in the ranch’s charm.
That day, the stage belonged to Crossfire Creek, led by the powerhouse vocals of Beamon Battie. Beamon isn’t just the band’s frontman—he’s a savvy entrepreneur who owns the group and brings boundless energy to every performance. Known for delivering four-hour sets, he blends classic and modern country hits with the band’s own originals, captivating audiences with every note. Behind the scenes, his wife Chantel keeps the operation humming as they tour Central Florida, building a loyal fan base and packing venues with growing crowds.
The concert unfolded under the open sky at NJoy, where the distillery’s handcrafted spirits—like their rich whiskeys and smooth rums—flowed freely. The venue’s layout is a crowd-pleaser: a prime stage view for music lovers, plus cozy nooks for sipping and socializing. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, enjoy a drink, and let the day slip away in style.
Exciting things are on the horizon for Crossfire Creek. They’re welcoming their first female singer to the lineup and dropping fresh original tracks to keep fans buzzing. Already, hits like Country to the Bone and Blame It on the Wine showcase their raw talent and infectious sound. Beamon and the crew are lighting up stages across Central Florida multiple nights a week. Want to catch them live?
