Two Generations. One Legendary Stage Gabby Barrett & Sara Evans
Saturday, April 18th, 2026 – Gates open 3 PM
Country Jam 2026 welcomes Gabby Barrett to the stage.
Delivering her most autobiographical work to date with the sought-after sophomore release of Chapter & Verse, Warner Music Nashville’s MULTI-PLATINUM star Gabby Barrett continues to intimately narrate her life with current single “Dance Like No One’s Watching.” In a stunning evolution of PLATINUM Goldmine and its Deluxe edition – a 2020 release with smashes: meteoric breakout 7X PLATINUM #1 “I Hope,” 4-week Hot AC #1 crossover “I Hope (feat. Charlie Puth),” 3X PLATINUM three-week #1 “The Good Ones,” and PLATINUM “Pick Me Up” – Barrett took greater creative control than ever before and co-produced the full album.
Surpassing 3 BILLION global career streams, she’s also stacked major accolades like Billboard Women in Music 2022’s Rising Star Award, 2021 CMT Artists of the Year, and the iHeartRadio Titanium Award, plus nods from ACM, AMA, Billboard, CMA, CMT, and iHeartRadio. With top-tier co-hosting gigs on ACM Awards and CMA Country Christmas, Barrett has supported the hottest Country tours including Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, and Brooks and Dunn, while also playing mega music festivals like Stagecoach.
Sara Evans to co-headline Country Jam 2026.
Multi-platinum entertainer SARA EVANS is at the top of her game. As the fifth most-played female artist at country radio in nearly the last two decades — her five No. 1 singles include “No Place That Far,” “Suds In The Bucket, “A Real Fine Place To Start,” “Born to Fly,” and “A Little Bit Stronger”. Several of those #1’s spent 2 weeks in the top spot and were certified platinum by the R.I.A.A. Overall, she’s had 15 songs chart in the top 20.
Sara continues to thrill audiences around the world playing over 70 shows each year. Sara’s “stunning, country voice” (Rolling Stone) has earned her the prestigious Academy of Country Music Top Female vocalist accolade as well as numerous American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Country Music Association, CMT and Grammy Awards nominations. In addition, the CMA awarded Video of the Year honors for her hit chart-topping single, “Born to Fly” from her double-platinum album of the same name. Evans’ discography also includes the multi-platinum selling studio albums Real Fine Place and Restless as well as the gold-certified projects Stronger and No Place That Far. Evans is also a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry.
PRESS RELEASE
COUNTRY JAM NAPLES™ TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH RAELYNN, JAMIE O’NEAL, CASEY BISHOP ADDED TO ALL-FEMALE, ALL-COUNTRY, ALL-STAR™ LINEUP
Rising stars and country legends join Gabby Barrett and Sara Evans for Naples’ biggest country night of the year April 18 at Paradise Coast Sports Complex
NAPLES, Fla., January 19, 2026 — Country artists RaeLynn, Jamie O’Neal and Casey Bishop have been added to the Country Jam Naples™ All-Female, All-Country, All-Star™ lineup, joining co-headliners Gabby Barrett and Sara Evans. The music festival takes place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Paradise Coast Sports Complex.
Gates open at 3 p.m. for what promises to be Naples’ biggest country event of the year — a one-night-only showcase honoring the women who are shaping the sound, stories, and future of country music.
“This year’s lineup is all about powerhouse voices, unforgettable songs, and an electric live experience,” said Kevin Janeway, founder and CEO of 239 Presents, producer-promoter of Country Jam Naples. “With rising stars, hometown talent, and country legends all on one stage, April 18 is shaping up to be the biggest and most exciting night of country music Naples has ever seen.”
RaeLynn brings her signature mix of heart, honesty, and high-energy storytelling to the stage. Known for her bold lyrics and authentic voice, she continues to make waves with music that connects deeply with fans, including her 2023 release “It’s Happening Right Here,” the title track for an Operation Underground Railroad human-trafficking documentary.
Platinum-selling hitmaker Jamie O’Neal delivers pure country nostalgia and star power. She shot to fame with back-to-back No. 1 hits “There Is No Arizona” and “When I Think About Angels,” and has since written chart-topping songs for country royalty including Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, and LeAnn Rimes.
Southwest Florida’s own Casey Bishop adds hometown pride to the lineup. The Estero native first captured local attention before winning over a national audience with her standout run on American Idol, where her powerhouse vocals made her one of the season 19’s most talked-about artists.
The stacked lineup is led by two of country music’s most celebrated voices. Gabby Barrett rose to stardom after her breakout American Idol performance and has since become one of the genre’s most compelling modern stars. Country icon Sara Evans brings decades of hits, five Billboard No. 1 singles, and more than six million albums sold worldwide.
