Donavan Frankenreiter in Concert!

Sunday July 8th 6:30-9pm

What could be a better pairing...vineyard views, large tent, glass of wine and the cool sounds of Donavan Frankereiter? Frankenreiter is as well known for his soothing, earthy vocals as his iconic mustache and quick witted humor.

The laidback sounds and soulful crooning of this Hawaiian native are likened to his long time friend and collaborator Jack Johnson. With the soft-bluesy tunes like “Swing on Down,” “Life, Love and Laughter,” and “Free”, surfer-turned-musician Frankereiter puts on an engaging but ‘chill’ show not to be missed!

Opening act (Rayland Baxter) at 6:30 with headliner at 7:30.

Martin Sexton In Concert

July 15th from 6:30-9pm

Back for his second season, this evening is truly special.

“Martin Sexton is a down home virtuoso with a voice that can groan like an alternative rocker, slide like a soul man or leap up to a pearly falsetto. Singing about restlessness and love while he picks syncopations on his guitar, he can turn an ordinary song into a....showcase.” (New York Times)

Opening Act (TBD) at 6:30 with headliner at 7:30.
This is a tented “rain or shine”, 21 + event. Tickets are limited and only available in advance.
Folding chairs are welcome under the tent with blankets allowed on the grounds.
