Forged on the small stages of Florida’s rural communities, MICHAEL RAY has created an impressive foundation. With four No. 1 songs, including the Platinum-certified “Think a Little Less” and “Whiskey And Rain,” and the Gold-certified “Kiss You in the Morning,” “One That Got Away” – plus “Get to You” and “Her World Or Mine” brings his tally to four RIAA Gold-certified singles. He has garnered over 2 Billion global streams, over 650,000 album equivalents and over 150 million YouTube views, he is a true country star who’s performed at the Grand Ole Opry 73 times! Looking to expand his sound, Ray sought out CMA Album of the Year Award-winning producer Michael Knox. The pair have taken his brand of country to a new level for Dive Bars & Broken Hearts, Ray’s six-song EP available now via Warner Music Nashville, featuring the haunting duet “Spirits and Demons” with Meghan Patrick, a two-time Canadian Country Music Association Female Artist of the Year. Currently on the road headlining shows through the summer, he’s taking his music where it matters: to the people.

X AMBASSADORS, a GRAMMY®  nominated, multi-platinum selling rock band from Ithaca, NY is comprised of lead singer Sam Nelson Harris, keyboardist Casey Harris, & drummer Adam Levin. 

The band's genre-defying hits  “Unsteady” and “Renegades” topped charts, leading to a three-year global touring odyssey as well as a string of high-profile festival performances. 

They've also produced and written hits for global superstars like Rihanna and Lizzo. 

Sam played a masterful acoustic set for 88 Vines at Villa Creek | MAHA Estate in Paso Robles, which featured cuisine from Chef Clark Staub of Full Of Life Flatbread and the winery's amazing biodynamic and organic wines. That event inspired Sam to go out on a solo acoustic tour ;last year.

The band's new album "TOWNIE" is out now, and is pretty great.  Please check it out wherever you listen to music!

With her first three recordings, the Love EP,  the breezy twentythree and follow up Hello, Tristan Prettyman parlayed her smoky alto voice and laid-back surfer-girl-from-San-Diego charm into a career studded with highlights that included Hello’s No. 2 position on the iTunes Digital Albums chart and headlining tours across the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

After a hiatus, traveling and healing from a broken engagement to musician Jason Mraz, Prettyman sifted through the wreckage of her relationship and "started writing songs from a deep and honest place, where she held nothing back. “Whenever anything ached or caused me pain, I’d tell myself, ‘Save it for the record.’ Those songs became Cedar + Gold, a brilliant and revelatory album.

"I always try to look at the bigger picture of why something is happening. And I love that I was able to go so deep and dig around in places I never thought I could access and still remain hopeful at the end of the day.”

TAYLOR GOLDSMITH is the lead singer/songwriter for the LA based folk-rock band DAWES.  The band has been winning over fans for a decade plus, and have been described as having the acoustic Laurel Canyon sound of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash, combined with the Americana vibe of the Band and Jackson Browne, who has called Taylor a “brilliant songwriter.” In fact, Esquire Magazine called Goldsmith “the best young songwriter in America” and said his songs “don’t just speak for themselves but accomplish something far rarer - they speak for us.” Taylor has been widely recognized for his excellent story-telling and honest lyrics, and recently received an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Original Music & Lyrics” for his song “Memorized” from the NBC show This Is Us. He has performed on albums with John Fogerty and Jackson Browne, and was handpicked by producer T Bone Burnett for a musical supergroup alongside Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, and My Morning Jacket's Jim James. 

JP SAXE's "If The World Was Ending (feat. Julia Michaels)" was nominated for Song Of The Year at the 2021 GRAMMY® Awards. He recently released  the single "I Don't Miss You", a collaboration with John Mayer, with whom he will be on tour this Fall.  Check out these lyrics, and tell me they don't gut you: 

“I don’t miss you/I just fantasize about you being someone who loves me/I can’t help it how I dream as if you’re painted on the back of my eyes/I don’t miss you I just think about you all the time.”  

A year and a half ago,  JP played an intimate concert - and the first event for 88 Vines - at Epoch Estate Wines in Paso Robles,. The evening featured a farm to table dinner, served alongside Epoch's highly rated wines. JP is a very special artist, whose lyrics make you think about your world in a completely different way.
