Backstage Access Presents is heading to Napa Valley for its inaugural event, set for April 14–16, and the first wave of performers has just been revealed.
The three-day event aims to offer a unique setting where artists and industry leaders can meet and discover new music outside of the formalities of traditional corporate environments. Guests will get to enjoy live performances, gather together for meals, take part in interactive experiences, and enjoy moments of relaxation, all with the intention of sparking genuine connections and encouraging creative collaboration.
This year’s lineup features artists from a variety of genres, each at a different point in their musical journey. Attendees will be treated to performances by Parker McCollum, Ty Myers, Grace Potter, George Birge, Maggie Rose, Karin Ann, Garrett Bradford, Julia Cole, Allie Colleen, Dalton Davis, Filmore, Ian Flanigan, Kylie Frey, Bradley Gaskin, Erin Grand, Jacob Hackworth, Kruse Brothers, Brett Kissel, Alex Lambert, Madden Metcalf, Morgan Myles, Charly Reynolds, Emily Ann Roberts, Sacha, Tom Siletto, Matt Stell, Cyndi Thomson, Dee White, Thelma & James, and The 502s.
Additional artists will be announced at a later date.
Bobbii Jacobs, a seasoned music industry executive and experiential strategist, is behind the curation of the unique destination gathering. With more than three decades of experience connecting artists, media, brands, and industry leaders, Jacobs has become an expert in establishing environments where conversation often leads to collaboration, which in turn allows careers to grow to new heights.
She intends to bring that idea back to Napa alongside a hand-selected group of artists and industry tastemakers who will indulge in world-class wine, culinary experiences, and intimate performances.
This will be the first time Backstage Access Presents has launched an event in Napa and continues the new brand’s new chapter after its successful gathering in August 2025 dubbed, Heartland. This destination event took place Eastern Iowa, where Jacobs lead the experience combining music, agriculture, and purpose.
Heartland featured farm-to-table experiences, intimate performances, and a final concert at the Field of Dreams site. In the end, it earned over $100,000 for the Iowa State University Foundation, which supports the Iowa Concern Hotline and expands mental wellness resources for farmers and ranchers.
Through moments like this, it’s clear that Backstage Access Presents is more than a music showcase, it’s a collaborative space where artists and industry leaders can connect in a real-life setting that feels organic.
Additional details regarding the upcoming Napa event, including venue locations and programming highlights will be shared in the months ahead.
