VanArnam Vineyards Summer 2025 Concert Series

Don't miss these guys and, don't forget to bring your dancin' shoes!

8/16 Austin Jenckes

A gnarly but vilnerable, country-blues singer with Washington state roots now living and performing in Nashville. The endlessly humble Jenckes will tell you, “I’m just a guy with a guitar singing songs.” But his work tells a far more nuanced tale. To hear Jenckes perform is to hear the roots of country music brought into the modern age: all soul and blues and that brand of lyrical honesty and palpable emotion that’s long defined the genre’s most celebrated artists.

8/30 Petty Thief

Petty Thief is a no frills rock band from Seattle, WA who meticulously encompass the Tom Petty sound and musically establish an emotional connection with the crowd that’s assembled. They pay tireless attention to detail to each and every song they play, which appeals to both casual and diehard Tom Petty fans alike. Since the fall of 2021 when Andy Volmer, Steve Crabtree, Mark Mosholder, John Paredes and Rick Bourgoin first joined forces, they have been practicing and honing their sound. Petty Thief was originally formed back in 2007 by Andy Volmer as a spoof for a Halloween show, but 2022 will mark the 15th Anniversary of the band, and they are thrilled to be back out there, playing to the lovers of Tom Petty’s music.
