The three-time Grammy winner has been tapped to headline the 2025 One805LIVE! benefit concert, an annual event held on Kevin Costner’s jaw-dropping oceanfront estate in Santa Barbara. According to a report from NewsChannel 3, the concert supports first responders across Santa Barbara County. This year, organizers are also dedicating part of the proceeds to help musicians from Alta Dena who were affected by the recent wildfires.
Trisha Yearwood is the first name announced for the 2025 lineup. If past shows are any indication, she’s just the beginning. Previous performers have included heavy hitters like Pink, Katy Perry, David Crosby, John Fogerty, Kenny Loggins, Maroon 5, and even Costner himself. The event isn’t just about the music. It’s a who’s who of Hollywood and music royalty. Past attendees include Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges, Zoe Saldaña, Michael Keaton, Rob Lowe, Cameron Diaz, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Yearwood’s name being at the top of the bill is a strong move. Since her 1991 breakout hit “She’s in Love with the Boy,” she’s sold over 15 million albums and stacked up awards like it’s a hobby. She’s stayed mostly under the radar lately, aside from occasional TV and cookbook appearances, but this show is a sign that she hasn’t stepped away from the stage for good.
Her last full-length album, Every Girl, dropped in 2019. Since then, fans have been wondering when she’d return with new music or a tour. While this Santa Barbara gig isn’t a full-blown comeback tour, it’s the kind of one-off show that puts her back on the radar. A show at a high-profile estate for a meaningful cause, with an audience full of movers and shakers? That’s classic Trisha. No gimmicks, just heart, and horsepower.
One805LIVE! 2025 is set for Saturday, September 20, running from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are already on sale at one805.org, and based on past events, they won’t last long.
Whether she sings “Walkaway Joe” or brings out a surprise duet, Yearwood’s set will be a rare treat. She’s never been one to chase trends or headlines. When she shows up, it means something.
And in a world where “country” sometimes gets watered down, Trisha Yearwood playing a fundraiser for real-life heroes might be the most authentic thing happening in California this fall.
