YPAC Live and KFROG are proud to bring you rising country star Alexandra Kay on Saturday, May 30, 2026, as part of a special outdoor series, Bites & Beats, at the Yucaipa Performing Arts Center.
(Presented by Hospitality Medical Aesthetics)
Set beneath the beautiful spring skies on YPAC’s outdoor stage in Uptown Yucaipa, this seated general admission event blends power-acoustic live country music with a curated selection of local food and beverage vendors, creating a one-of-a-kind evening experience. Bites & Beats is where Uptown connects: Music. Food. Vibes.
A Star on the Rise
Alexandra Kay is one of country music’s most exciting breakthrough artists. Known for her heartfelt songwriting, powerhouse vocals, and authentic storytelling, she has captivated millions worldwide. Rooted in the timeless traditions of country music, her sound bridges classic influences with modern emotion.
Growing up near St. Louis, Alexandra began writing songs as a teenager and later built her career independently by posting 90s country covers that quickly went viral, earning her a fiercely loyal fanbase. Today, she boasts millions of followers across social platforms and hundreds of millions of streams, all before signing with BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville.
Her debut album, All I’ve Ever Known, topped iTunes’ All Genre and Country charts and broke into the Top 10 on Billboard’s Country and Emerging Artist charts. (a rare achievement for an independent artist.) A seasoned live performer, Alexandra has toured internationally, shared stages with icons like Tim McGraw and Jelly Roll, and made multiple appearances at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
Audiences can expect powerful vocals, irresistible melodies, and an unforgettable stage presence, country music with heart, grit, and soul.
A Fantastic Opening Act
Joining Alexandra Kay on May 30 is the incredibly talented Jacob Ryan Gustafson! Singer-songwriter AND full-time firefighter from Southern California.
From turning chairs on The Voice to writing songs that hit you right in the chest, Jacob brings raw, real stories about life, love, and everything in between. Every lyric means something… and you’re gonna feel it.

Service Animal Program/Pet Policy
Accessibility Service Animals: Persons with disabilities and their service dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for those persons with disabilities are welcome at the concert, as are those training service animals. Pets are not allowed and will be turned away. Due to large-scale animal service fraud, and for the protection of all concert patrons, service animals must be screened and registered at the Entrance Gate immediately upon entry to the site.
Any service animal whose task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship, is not considered a service animal and will not be allowed into the venue. All service animals must remain by the handler’s side at all times and must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. Care of the service animal is the sole responsibility of the owner, including cleanup. Anyone bringing an animal will be responsible for and liable for any damage or injury caused by the animal.
