Parker McCollum
Golden 1 Center — Sacramento, CA

Parker McCollum is a Texas country artist who built a dedicated fanbase before breaking through to mainstream recognition. He's the kind of singer-songwriter who writes about small-town life and romantic devotion without the usual country radio polish, which is exactly why people respond to him. His 2022 album Cheatycheats saw him lean into more pop-friendly production while keeping the emotional core intact. Songs like "To Be Loved By You" showcase his ability to write something that feels both intimate and universal — the kind of track that works just as well in a dive bar as it does on streaming playlists. McCollum's style sits somewhere between traditional country storytelling and modern pop sensibilities, which has helped him connect with audiences who might not typically follow country music. His live shows have become increasingly packed as word spread, and he's developed the kind of loyal following that actually buys tickets and shows up early.

His crowds lean into every word, phones mostly down during the deeper cuts. There's a sing-along energy that builds through the set, less rowdy than reverent. He connects with the audience in a way that feels genuine rather than performed.

Known for To Be Loved By You, Red Dirt Road, Everything, Hell or High Water, Ain't Crashing Down

San Francisco's country scene is smaller than you'd think for a city this size, but it's real. The Fillmore and similar venues have hosted everyone from outlaw legends to modern Americana acts. There's an audience here for artists who don't apologize for their roots, especially ones with McCollum's knack for writing songs that stick with you.

Stay in Hayes Valley or the Mission—both neighborhoods have the kind of restaurants and bars that make a weekend feel deliberate rather than touristy. Head to State Bird Provisions for dinner if you can get in; it's precise and inventive without being pretentious. Spend a day in Muir Woods or hiking around Twin Peaks for actual views of the city. The de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is worth a couple hours if the weather holds. Hit up a coffee place on Valencia Street in the Mission just to sit and watch the neighborhood move around you.
