Blue Note Napa has announced the new music lineup for the 2023 Blue Note Summer Sessions concert series beginning May 19 through October. Tickets to the initial slate of events will go on sale this Thursday, March 9 at 10 a.m. PT via bluenotenapa.com, although more concerts will be rolled out in the near future.
After a successful two-year stint at an up-Valley winery, Blue Note Summer Sessions is relocating this summer to a new home in Napa Valley - Silverado Resort. Located just off the Silverado Trail in the heart of Napa Valley and a short scenic drive north of San Francisco, this enchanting NorCal retreat offers 1,200 rolling acres nestled between oak groves and vineyards while featuring luxurious accommodations with state-of-the-art business facilities, world-class dining, full-service spa experiences, and family-friendly recreational activities.
More attendees than ever will be able to join in this year's Summer Sessions as the new concert location offers more seating, food and drink options, and room for dancing amongst fellow music lovers with a capacity of 1,500 guests per show in addition to more transportation and housing options for out-of-town travelers.
The outdoor event series will feature a new stage constructed within a tree-lined meadow above the 1st and 18th hole of Silverado's PGA-certified championship golf course and just a short walk from the resort's historic mansion, although the concert stage will not impede daily golf sessions for Silverado visitors.
As a proud independent concert promoter and venue operator, Blue Note Napa will soon present its most diverse and exciting Summer Sessions lineup to date with a highly curated selection of acts that includes chart-topping rock and country musicians, Grammy Award-winners, comedy heavyweights, plus some of the top jazz performers in the country.
"Napa has been known for quite some time for its world-class wine, over the last fifteen years it has also become known for its equally high-level culinary experience. Our goal is to bring the third pillar of the arts to Napa year-round and ensure it is known as a center for the finest of all types of world-class music," said Blue Note Napa's Managing Director Ken Tesler. "I hope all of our venues including the Blue Note Napa, the JaM Cellars Ballroom, our Summer Sessions, the Blue Note Jazz Festival, and finally Oxbow RiverStage together make that a reality."
