Free Outdoor Summer Concert with Nashville’s ‘verygently’

Summer Night You Won’t Forget — verygently July 3 at Carlos Creek 🎶

Kick off your 4th of July weekend

With a night that feels like summer at its best. We’re throwing our first-ever BIG outdoor concert at Carlos Creek — and it’s totally FREE.

From Nashville, TN - the band verygently takes the stage

verygently is a powerhouse trio of singer-songwriters who’ve played alongside The Fray, Augustana, and The Band Camino. Their music blends high-energy rock, indie soul, and heart-achingly honest lyrics with the kind of chemistry only best friends can bring to the stage. This is not your average winery set — this is a summer outdoor concert experience.

And it’s happening in a whole new space

Not our usual patio music setup. We’re going big. The band will perform on a large outdoor stage in our gravel parking lot, with plenty of space to spread out on the grassy hillside overlooking the vineyards. Bring a blanket, grab a drink, and take in the music as the sun sets over the vines — it’s going to be one of those magic Minnesota summer nights.

✨ Why you need to be here:

• Live Nashville band with a sound that moves your soul
