Parker McCollum’s been on a hell of a run since his breakout single “Pretty Heart” had folks across the country hittin’ repeat and singin’ along in their trucks. What started as a Texas country buzz has turned into a national spotlight, with McCollum now holdin’ his own alongside the biggest names in modern country. His sound mixes old-school heartache with that fresh, radio-ready energy — the kind that hits you right between the ribs and keeps you hummin’ it days later.

On Saturday, August 16, 2025, he’s bringin’ that fire to the Ironstone Amphitheatre at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys, CA — a small Gold Rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills, about halfway between Sacramento and Yosemite. Known for its wineries and summer concerts, Ironstone’s the kind of spot where you can watch the sun drop behind the hills before the stage lights kick in.

The gates swing open at 4:00 p.m., with doors an hour before the music starts at 7:30 p.m. Lawn tickets are runnin’ around $68, makin’ it an easy call for a summer night under the stars with one of country’s fastest risin’ stars.

From the soulful “Pretty Heart” to the high-energy hits off his latest record, McCollum’s live show packs the kind of punch that’s made him a must-see on the touring circuit. Whether you’ve been followin’ him since his Texas barroom days or just found him on the radio last week, this one’s worth the trip to the foothills.

Tickets and info are up now through Ticketmaster.
