Live In The Vineyard (LITV), the highly anticipated music event presented by Visit Napa Valley, is poised to make its return to the picturesque landscapes of Napa Valley, California, from November 1-3, 2023. This annual gathering promises an unparalleled fusion of music, wine, and culinary excellence, all set against the stunning backdrop of Napa Valley’s vineyard-dotted hillsides.

Spanning three unforgettable days, LITV will host a remarkable array of performances from a diverse lineup, including acclaimed acts like Tori Kelly, for KING & COUNTRY, Brent & Zach from Shinedown, Charlotte Cardin, CIL, Patrick Droney, Gareth Dunlop, Jackie Evancho, Ilsey Juber, Jonah Kagen, Lawrence, Mariangela, Emmy Meli, New West, Ava Della Pietra, Sarah Reeves, Zach Seabaugh, and Craig Stickland.

Producer, songwriter, and philanthropist Linda Perry will also be making a special appearance at the event. Perry first gained fame as the lead vocalist of the rock band 4 Non Blondes in the early 1990s and has since continued to make her mark on the music industry. She has written and produced hits for artists like Christina Aguilera (“Beautiful”), Pink (“Get the Party Started”), and Alicia Keys, among many others. Perry’s genre-defying talents make her a perfect fit for LITV’s diverse and influential lineup, showcasing her ability to create unforgettable songs across musical styles such as pop, rock, R&B, and soul.

The event will undoubtedly deliver an extraordinary auditory experience, celebrating influential songwriters and top artists across multiple genres such as Pop and Hot A/C.

Bobbii Jacobs, Co-founder of Live In The Vineyard and President of FF Entertainment, expressed her excitement, saying, “LITV has always been about crafting a unique, intimate experience where music enthusiasts can connect with their favorite artists in a remarkable setting. This year, we’re raising the bar yet again, curating a lineup that promises to captivate and inspire.”

Each year, Live In The Vineyard elevates the attendee experience by hosting main events across Napa Valley’s most renowned wineries and locales. The festivities kick off with the Welcome Reception at the elegant Chandon, followed by an exclusive VIP Luncheon at Charles Krug. The mainstage concerts promise to be unforgettable experiences at the historic Uptown Theatre, while the event wraps up in style with a Send-Off Brunch at Calmere. In addition to the main events accessible to all LITV attendees, exclusive VIP performances are slated to occur at select wineries across the Napa Valley.

Known as one of the most exclusive and sought-after events across the country, LITV gives attendees intimate access to recording artists, premier Napa Valley wineries, and renowned chefs during a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience.

The 3-day event brings together music supervisors, radio programmers, DSP curators, label executives, VIPs, corporate hospitality groups, and more from around the country to celebrate and hear brand new music by today’s most successful artists as well as the most popular emerging artists in a unique arrangement. What sets LITV apart from other events is the exclusivity, the intimacy, and tailored curation, and the stunning vineyard-filled hillsides and world-class wine and culinary features that Napa Valley offers.

LITV is a private event and only open to invited industry guests, including music supervisors, radio programmers, label executives, corporate partners, and sweepstakes winners. National radio promotions are aired around the event where fans can enter for a chance to win. Fans can get more information on where and how to enter by going to the LITV official website.

In 2022, Visit Napa Valley, the destination marketing organization for Napa Valley, embarked as the official title sponsor for both LITV and LITV Goes Country, committing to a 3-year partnership with the event. Visit Napa Valley recognizes and emphasizes that music plays a unique role in the canvas of experiences available in Napa Valley. By aligning with Live In The Vineyard, Visit Napa Valley continues promoting the region as a premier destination for music enthusiasts and travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and rich culture of Northern California.

Throughout their over 15-year tenure, LITV and LITV Goes Country (held each year in April) have brought some of the biggest names in music to Napa Valley, which has benefited and boosted tourism and has provided continuous support for the community. Event organizers are committed to supporting the community that has become home to these events.

A series of 22 U.S. dates will follow, beginning with a May 8 show at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI.

See below for full itinerary.

Presale registration for first access to tickets launched today at nfrealmusic.com/tour. For the U.S. dates, fans of NF are being asked to register ahead of tickets going on sale to help block bots, reduce resale and get more tickets directly into the hands of real people who want to attend the show. Fans can register now until Sunday, September 24. Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to the Registration Presale on Wednesday, September 27.

A limited number of tickets will be available during a general onsale starting September 29, at 10:00 AM local time at nfrealmusic.com/tour while supplies last.

Hailed by Billboard as “one of the world’s biggest rappers,” NF is one of the most consumed artists of our time, generating over 40 billion combined global streams worldwide and selling over half a million tickets to date. After his extensive 2023 North American tour, which sold over 250,000 tickets, NF embarked on a sold-out European tour, which concludes on October 15 at Eventim Apollo in London.

NF is touring in support of HOPE – his third studio album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts. HOPE also topped the album charts in New Zealand, The Netherlands and Switzerland and took the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 as well as the album charts in Australia, the UK, Canada and Norway.

HOPE has amassed over one billion combined global streams to date. The title track was recently certified Gold by the RIAA – one of 23 new certifications. Earlier albums The Search and Perception, which topped the Billboard 200, are now certified 2x Platinum while the 2017 single “Let You Down” is 8x Platinum.

Clash Music praised HOPE as an “often thrilling return” and “perhaps his most personal document yet.” The album features guest appearances by Cordae on “CAREFUL” and Julia Michaels on “GONE.” The New York Times spotlighted “MOTTO,” and noted, “in his early career, NF sounded as if he was internalizing all the pressures of the world, but now he sounds free and calm, dismissing those same pressures with a shrug.” Praising the “soul-baring highlight” “HAPPY,” NME said, “he documents his ongoing mental health journey with brutal, utterly unbridled honesty.” As part of the “NME In Conversation” series, NF delves into a wide range of topics that include HOPE, fatherhood and collaborating with Julia Michaels

Layton first dropped this powerful pop track in June and now she is joined by one of the co-writers of the song as West lends vocals on this new version of “Never.”  Songwriting credits for this track also include Keith Everette Smith and AJ Pruis, the team behind Layton’s 2022 #1 smash “How Far.”

Produced by Layton’s husband, GRAMMY and Dove Award-winner Keith Everette Smith, “Never” spotlights the hope and healing found only in Christ. Echoing a theme which hallmarks Layton’s life and music, “Never” unequivocally declares His promises: “There’s not a broken too broken for You/Will there ever come a day when You’re not holding me together?/You say, ‘Never.’”

Layton is set to share “Never” with audiences around the country as she steps into the spotlight for her debut headlining tour this fall. With special guest Jeremy Rosado, Layton’s “Look What You’ve Done Tour” kicks off October 26 in Indianapolis and will hit eight cities before concluding November 12 in Columbus, Ohio.

Grace Graber is voicing the world’s social media burnout with her sassy latest single “Superficiality,” now available on all major streaming platforms at, and going for radio adds through PlayMPE on September 28. “Superficiality” is a timely commentary on the falseness demanded from digital society.

“I’m someone who constantly has social media fatigue,” Grace Graber admits. “Social media consumes so much of my time. It makes me feel so much less than my life, like I’m not doing enough. Social media points out the inadequacies of being a normal human, like if there is nothing to post about today, then you failed.”

It’s a poignant message from the singer, who has become known for a following on Instagram who eagerly watches her honest takes on mental health, music and life. Graber continues, “It’s wonderful to share my life with people who are far away, but the risk and what I lose from that is, essentially, my love of real life. Unfortunately, I’ve fallen in love with social media and not what will truly satisfy me, which is real life — life with Jesus. And so I think this just pokes at how ridiculous that is. I want to grow, and I want to learn from that.”

Although the song’s message is deeply pertinent to Grace Graber’s own life, she didn’t actually pen the song herself. For the first time, she’s releasing a song that was pitched to her by other songwriters. James and Joelle approached Grace with the song, knowing that she could pull off the punchy pop-punk princess vibe that the track required.

“I think we were all just in a place where we wanted to say how done we are with the upkeep of portraying perfection,” songwriter James Stevens reflects. “This song kind of allowed us to say that in a self-reflective way that hopefully everyone can relate to.

The best part of this write for me is that while Grace has the talent to deliver this song, like the rockstar that she is, in the short time I’ve gotten to know her, I’ve learned that she’s truly authentic, personable, fun and real. So I truly think that Grace is someone who can represent this message just as well as she rocks it with her voice.”

Joelle Einerson echoes those sentiments, adding, “It’s easy to point out the phony in others, but actually realizing the phony inside of yourself? That’s a whole different thing. Change starts with self-awareness. I think everybody has a chance every decade of their lives to shed a whole new level of artificial. But I think that if the youth could recognize that early on, they could save a lot of heartache in the long run. They could be inspired to live a more authentic life that’s more true to themselves and true to God.”

“The reason that we thought Grace would be the perfect for this song and really rewrote it with her in mind is because Grace has used her voice and her platform to reach out to those in the fray,” Joelle concludes. “She’s continuously been an advocate for mental health and authenticity, and she really is the perfect voice for this message.”

The song’s deceptively light sound and rock-solid subject matter required equally balanced visuals. With the world currently talking a lot about what it means to be authentically, powerfully yourself following the Barbie movie, Grace Graber knew that “Superficiality” needed to be set in Barbie-esque visuals.

“There’s just something about all this pink happening right now where I couldn’t deny my love for pink! And so I bought this dress and I booked a photo shoot with my dear friend Austin Markham, and they had pink lights at the studio. There is some mirror stuff that we’re using in the music video, like, ‘hey, look, in the reflection, what do you see?’ It just all kind of meshed together.”

Although both the visuals and the fact that she’s singing a song she didn’t write are new for Grace, the result is a striking statement piece.

“Overall, I think this song is just magical and a moment of relief for me and my artistry,” Grace says. “It’s a moment of saying it how it is, while keeping the sound the same. I feel like everyone will enjoy and connect with this.”

Anthony Evans, No.1 Billboard charting Gospel artist, producer, performer, author, and vocal contractor/arranger for some of music’s most popular icons, announces the release of his brand new single, “Even If.” Available today, the song is the lead track from Evans’ highly anticipated full length studio album “REVIVE” that will drop globally in early 2024.

“Even If” follows on the heels of Evans’ 2020 album “Altared” – a project that marked his second consecutive #1 on the Billboard Gospel Album chart. After a brief intermission from making new music, Evans’ heartfelt 2024 album, true to its title “REVIVE,” powerfully reflects his painstaking return to a strong, enduring faith after a long season of personal loss, heartache, and doubt.

The project’s lead track, “Even If,” is a slow-building tune that explodes in exultation, with a declaration to praise, even if everything doesn’t go as he planned.

Says Evans, “It’s a song about what it means to have hope when your circumstance seems hopeless. It was written for those of us who have ever been in a scenario where your feelings have been telling you that God has forgotten about you. It was also written for those of us who need a reminder that your emotions don’t have intellect and don’t always tell you truth. Even if what we are facing seems insurmountable, despite what you’re feeling, God is still good.”

While setting his personal music aside for a season to focus on his mental, spiritual, and personal health, Evans has spent the past couple of years producing artist vocals for live events. He has worked on projects for Grammy winning, multi-platinum artist DJ Khaled – the latest in a long line of legendary figures who have sought out his array of behind-the-scenes talents, including Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, 2Chainz, Tyler The Creator, Kirk Franklin and Tori Kelly.

Look for Evans this fall as the official spokesperson for the international relief, development, and advocacy organization, Food for the Hungry on “The Reunion Tour” alongside Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, The Clark Sisters, David and Tamela Mann, and Israel Houghton. The nationwide arena tour kicks off on Sept. 28 in Bridgeport, Conn. vising major cities around the country before concluding on Nov. 24 in Fort Worth, Texas.

In the coming year, Evans will be promoting “REVIVE” in part on the 2024 version of “Fervent,” the touring event that he and his sister, NY Times bestselling author and actress Priscilla Shirer, host in multiple cities. He and his company, Sherman James Productions, have produced 40 sold-out events over the past few years. Also, in 2024, Evans will be bringing back “Kingdom Legacy Live,” an event inspired by the words of his mother, “All of you…together,” which features his father, Dr. Tony Evans, and siblings, Chrystal Evans Hurst, Priscilla Evans, and Jonathan Evans. The first “Kingdom Legacy Live” program in 2023 had over 6,000 attendees.
