Established to provide financial assistance to members of the country music community facing extraordinary needs, the Opry Trust Fund reflects the spirit of support and connection that has long defined Nashville’s music industry.Following the success of its inaugural Napa Valley experience earlier this year, Backstage Access Presents is bringing the spirit of wine country to Music City, pairing Nashville’s rich tradition of music and storytelling with the wine, hospitality and personal connections that helped define its debut. The result is a destination experience where discovering an artist and discovering a wine become part of the same shared occasion.

Participating wineries include Amizetta Estate Winery, Benevolent Neglect Wines, Robert Biale Vineyards, Bonita Bonita, Cuvaison Winery, Orin Swift Cellars, PEJU Winery, Rombauer Vineyards, Round Pond Estate Winery, Sleeping Giant Winery and Stressed Vines Cellars. Together, they bring a distinctive wine-country element to the Nashville gathering, complementing its intimate performances and curated hospitality. Additional event partners include Bearded Man Coffee, Leiper’s Fork Distillery, Lucchese, Guitar Center, and Suerte Tequila.

Rather than following a conventional festival or conference format, the Nashville experience will feature intimate performances, songwriter rounds, curated hospitality, exclusive gatherings, and opportunities for meaningful interaction throughout the city.

During one of country music’s most celebrated weeks, the event will bring together an eclectic mix of artists and industry leaders, offering opportunities for music discovery, collaboration, and relationship-building. The experience will culminate with a private CMA Awards watch party and celebration.

“One of the things that makes Backstage Access Presents so special is the opportunity to bring together artists at different stages of their careers and create an environment where genuine connections can happen,” said Bobbii Jacobs, Founder of Backstage Access Presents. “We’re thrilled to welcome these incredible new additions to our Music City lineup, and having the Opry Trust Fund involved as a charitable partner makes this experience even more meaningful. Nashville is a community that has always supported its own, and we’re proud to celebrate that spirit while bringing people together through music.”

The upcoming Nashville installment follows the April debut of Backstage Access Presents: Napa Valley, which welcomed artists including Parker McCollum, Shinedown, Grace Potter, Ty Myers, The 502s, George Birge, Maggie Rose, Thelma & James and Emily Ann Roberts. Set against the backdrop of Napa Valley’s wineries and estates, the inaugural event combined intimate live performances with elevated culinary experiences and opportunities for industry networking.
