Live in the Vineyard Goes Country recently made its highly anticipated return to California’s scenic Napa Valley, treating attendees to three days of unforgettable performances from rising stars and established country favorites—paired perfectly with world-class wines and gourmet cuisine.
Presented by Visit Napa Valley, Live in the Vineyard Goes Country took place Tuesday, April 22 through Thursday, April 24, offering an exclusive experience for music industry tastemakers. The coveted event welcomed music supervisors, radio programmers, DSP curators, label executives, VIPs, and corporate guests for three days of intimate, hand-curated performances featuring brand-new music in a stunning Napa Valley setting.
This year, Live in the Vineyard Goes Country featured more than 30 artists across three days, including Jordan Davis, Brett Young, RaeLynn, Katharine McPhee, Max McNown, Ashley Cooke, Roman Alexander, Laci Kaye Booth, Annie Bosko, Gable Bradley, CeCe, Allie Colleen, Canaan Cox, Kashus Culpepper, Adam Doleac, Carter Faith, Ben Gallaher, Lanie Gardner, Bradley Gaskin, Harper Grace, Erin Grand, Braden Hull, James Barker Band, Greylan James, Caroline Jones, Alexandra Kay, Kalsey Kulyk, Timmy McKeever, Morgan Myles, Stella Prince, Owen Riegling, Shane Stevens, and Jake Worthington.
Bobbii Jacobs, Founder of Live in the Vineyard Goes Country and President of FF Entertainment, created the event as a platform for artists to authentically showcase their talent — and this year’s edition once again delivered on that mission.
Timmy McKeever, who performed for a select group of guests at the Music Industry Lunch on Tuesday, told us it was “such an honor” to take part in the celebrated event.
“Sharing the stage with such an incredible lineup of artists, in front of industry leaders who’ve played a pivotal role in shaping so many careers, made it an unforgettable experience,” he said.
Before taking the stage, Kashus Culpepper shared that he never expected his music journey would lead him to a place like Napa Valley.
“This is my first time in California. I mean, I’ve been here for layovers and stuff for planes and stuff, but I’ve never gone out outside the airport. So to be in Napa to be my first Cali experience, is kind of hard to top that. This is really cool. And to be here to play my music…I never expected that.”
Meanwhile, Jake Worthington, who delivered a standout performance with his signature traditional country sound, was thrilled to return to the event for a second time.
“We’re grateful to see this part of the country. They’ve got good food and good drinks and I would have never gotten to see this place other than in books or something if it wasn’t for this event and the folks who put it on. I appreciate them having us.”
Along with enjoying sets from fellow rising singer-songwriters, like Owen Riegling, Carter Faith, Lanie Gardner, and Roman Alexander, attendees were also treated to performances by established artists like Jordan Davis, Brett Young, and Ashley Cooke.

During Wednesday’s Tailgate Event hosted by Louis Martini Winery, Cooke delivered stunning acoustic performances of several new songs, including the irresistible “Baby Blues,” the emotional “Growing Up Is Getting Old,” and the just-released “The F Word.”
The Uptown Theatre Concert was a highlight of the trip. Headlined by Jordan Davis, this event included sets from Bradley Gaskin, Ben Gallaher, CeCe, RaeLynn, and Max McNown. Davis brought the evening to a high-energy close, leading the crowd in a massive singalong with hits like “Buy Dirt,” “Tucson Too Late,” and “I Ain’t Sayin’.” He also served up a taste of his new album with a performance of his brand-new, chart-climbing hit, “Bar None.”
The 2025 Live In The Vineyard Goes Country celebration came to a close with a cozy Send-Off Brunch held at The Overlook outside The Cave at Shadybrook Estate Winery. Guests were treated to heartfelt toasts, unforgettable views, and powerful performances from rising artists Alexandra Kay, Harper Grace, Stella Prince, and Allie Colleen.
The event also featured an inspiring conversation with Linda Perry and Alisha Ballard of EqualizeHer, alongside Leslie Fram of FEMcountry, highlighting the importance of supporting and uplifting women in country music.
