Weekend Live Music List for May 1st, 2nd & 3rd

April 30, 2026 Kindall Reuschel (Nelson)

Ava Easter and Sarah Marie Dillard joined James Herr on stage at Tres Rojas Winery on James birthday!


Earlier this month, we spent some time on a Sunday afternoon at Tres Rojas Winery celebrating James Herr’s birthday!

Here are some upcoming shows at Tres Rojas!

The rain held off just long enough for the whole party to wrap up and it ended up being a perfect snapshot of the local music scene doing one of the things it does best. Which is bringing people together through great songs, great company, and moments worth celebrating.

Sarah Marie Dillard and Ava Easter joined James Herr on stage and others took their turn at the mic as well. Check for videos in this blog post and on YouTube!

Some of the best shows you’ll see around here aren’t just about the music, they’re about the connection, the stories, and the shared experience of being there.

Take a few minutes to check out the photos and videos from that day, and (and a couple other days) and then get started on your own live music todo list for this weekend! There’s no shortage of incredible talent out there… your next favorite performance might be closer than you think.

Hope to see you out there!
