May 28 – Jessica Simpson at the Graton

Jessica Simpson first rose to fame with her powerhouse debut “I Wanna Love You Forever,” becoming one of the defining pop voices of the early 2000s with hits like With You, Take My Breath Away, and her platinum smash These Boots Are Made for Walkin’. Simpson released music in 2025 with Nashville Canyon Pt. 1 and Pt. 2, a bold blend of country, pop, rock, and Americana featuring standout tracks like Leave, Blame Me, and Fade. Her return was met with praise for its emotional honesty, raw storytelling, and commanding vocals, signaling that this chapter is not a comeback but a continuation of her artistic journey. 

We hope to see you there!
