The picturesque meadow at Pomeroy Cellars, surrounded by rolling vineyards and tree-lined countryside, is a wonderful place to enjoy a summer concert. The Music in the Vines summer series takes place every season, and this year Pomeroy Cellars is proud to fundraise on behalf of Rocksolid Community Teen Center, an incredible nonprofit organization that supports local youth. Bring your friends and family and join the community this August to welcome Joel Gibson Jr. for a fun evening of country and rock and roll!

Established in 2014, Pomeroy Cellars in Lucia Valley is part of the historic Pomeroy Farm, which has been in the family since 1910. Three years ago, they started Music in the Vines featuring five concerts every summer that each benefit a different nonprofit in North Clark County, all with budgets under $500,000. This is their third year partnering with Rocksolid.

Megan Miller is a fifth-generation Pomeroy, and she and her husband Tommy are among the farm and winery’s managing partners. “We’re thrilled to be working with Rocksolid again and we really appreciate what they’ve done for teens in our community,” says Tommy.

Serving the area since 2002, Rocksolid Community Teen Center is an after-school program for children in grades five through twelve in the Battle Ground and Hockinson School districts, focused on transforming lives through youth development, positive mentorship and growth. The center is open every school day from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and Rocksolid provides transportation. The non-profit is excited to partner with Pomeroy Cellars again this year. “Collaborating with community supporters is a great way to increase our visibility and educate people about the center,” says Executive Director Marcy Sprecher. “We hope to bring a lot of our community to this event — it’s a beautiful property with lots of history and always a great time.”

This Music in the Vines is extra special because Pomeroy Cellars is welcoming Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter Joel Gibson Jr. for the first time! An award-winning independent Country and Rock artist, Joel brings a captivating selection of original songs and a charismatic stage presence that delights audiences of all ages.

The concert takes place on Friday, Aug. 23, and the music kicks off at 6 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and low-back chairs and are invited to set up a spot to hang out and enjoy the music on the non-reserved lawn. Wine from Pomeroy Cellars, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Chopped Champion and pitmaster/chef Lynnae Oxley is bringing her Sugars Roadshow food truck and will be serving up mouthwatering barbecue. Music in the Vines is always a family-friendly event and dogs on leashes are welcome.

The net proceeds from the concert will be donated directly to Rocksolid Community Teen Center to help strengthen their current programs and add further resources for youth. Pomeroy Cellars is delighted to support such a valuable organization and they love hosting these events that bring people together. “Building a bigger and stronger community in North Clark County is an ongoing initiative for us,” Tommy says.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite; $15 for general admission, $12 for VIP and wine club members. Pomeroy Cellars is located at 20902 NE Lucia Falls Rd, Yacolt. Contact them at 360-686-3785 or visit pomeroycellars.com.
