A Summer Evening In The Wide Open Countryside with Live Music at Fair Oaks Farms

Summer Concert Returns with Nashville’s Rising Stars on July 11

FAIR OAKS, IN, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- There’s something magical about summer evenings in the Midwest – warm air, wide-open skies, and the sound of music drifting across the fields. That’s exactly the experience Fair Oaks Farms is offering on Friday, July 11, 2025 with the next show in their Backyard Concert Series, featuring Preston James, Charity Bowden, and SJ McDonald.

Set in the scenic Farmhouse Backyard, this open-air concert invites guests to bring lawn chairs or blankets and settle in for an easygoing, music-filled night under the stars. You won’t find stiff seating charts or velvet ropes here – just green grass, a cool drink in hand, and some of the best emerging voices out of Nashville bringing their stories to life.

Gates open at 6:30 pm CT, and the music starts soon after. Whether you arrive early to grab dinner at the Farmhouse prior to the show or roll in just before showtime, you’ll find a laid-back atmosphere where everyone is welcome. Fair Oaks Farms will have food and drink available onsite, including a food truck and grill, plus drinks for purchase.

The July 11 concert highlights three incredibly talented singer-songwriters whose styles blend traditional country storytelling with fresh energy and emotion. Preston James delivers soulful, blues-influenced country with small-town grit and rock energy. He’s performed at the Ryman, toured with legends, and was featured on The Voice. His music is rich with storytelling and personality. Charity Bowden, known for her timeless voice and Southern charm, gained national attention on The Voice at just 17. She brings a blend of classic country and modern flair that’s heartfelt and moving. SJ McDonald writes songs that feel like diary entries – with catchy melodies and a dash of sass. Originally from Virginia farm country, she’s a CMT-recognized “Next Up Now” artist whose upbeat performances make you want to sing along and sway under the stars.

Together, these artists offer a captivating concert experience that blends energy, emotion, and storytelling at The Fair Oaks Farms Backyard Concert.
