Ryan Bingham will bring an intimate acoustic performance to the Solvang Festival Theater on April 30, in a one-night-only benefit built around music, a live auction and community giving. The performance starts at 8:00 PM, following an auction and a VIP reception earlier in the evening.
Guests can choose an elevated VIP experience or standard concert admission. VIP ticketholders will attend a pre-show reception with live music in the Theater Garden from 5:30–7:00 PM and get premium assigned seating, while other ticket holders will be admitted at 7:30 PM before the program begins.
The evening’s auction is designed to draw attention as much as the concert itself. Items include a Garth Brooks VIP concert getaway with luxury accommodations, a private Whiskey ‘N Rye food truck experience for 50 guests, and travel and lifestyle packages featuring Hearst Castle, Reagan Ranch, The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, Del Mar Race Day and National Finals Rodeo experiences.
The event is being presented with the Los Adobes de Los Rancheros Foundation, Golden Circle of Champions and Solvang Theaterfest. Bingham, who is known for playing Walker on Yellowstone, is the headline draw, but the proceeds are set to be shared in support of the host organizations, with the foundation directing its support to Golden Circle of Champions for pediatric cancer assistance.
That gives the night a sharper purpose than a standard concert stop. Los Adobes de Los Rancheros Foundation supports youth programs, historic preservation and community initiatives across the Santa Ynez Valley, while Golden Circle of Champions helps families facing pediatric cancer by creating meaningful experiences and opportunities for children and their families. Solvang Theaterfest, a 501(c) nonprofit, sustains the historic open-air theater through concerts, community productions and year-round programming.
Chantel Green said the goal is to bring people together for music, giving back and a night that reflects the Santa Ynez Valley at its best. Tickets are available at SolvangTheaterfest.org or by calling 686-1789.
