BREAKING NEWS: RHONDA VINCENT AND WILLIE NELSON TO HEADLINE MOON CRUSH: WHISKEY MOON 2025 — A CELEBRATION OF COUNTRY SOUL UNDER THE FLORIDA SKY
Country music royalty will share the same stage this fall as Rhonda Vincent and Willie Nelson officially join forces for Moon Crush: Whiskey Moon, set for November 7–9, 2025, in Miramar Beach, Florida. The announcement has sent waves of excitement through the country and Americana music community, as two generations of living legends prepare to unite for what promises to be an emotionally charged, unforgettable weekend of music, heart, and southern spirit.
Joining the powerhouse duo will be an all-star lineup that captures the essence of American storytelling: Whiskey Myers, Charley Crockett, Shane Smith & The Saints, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Josh Meloy. Together, they’ll bring a blend of outlaw country, bluegrass brilliance, southern rock fire, and soulful Americana — all set beneath the glowing Florida moon.
For fans, this isn’t just another festival. It’s a meeting of musical souls, a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of voices that have shaped — and continue to define — the sound of American country.
Willie Nelson, at 92, remains the beating heart of the genre. With classics like “On the Road Again” and “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” still inspiring audiences worldwide, his appearance at Whiskey Moon is both a tribute and a testament to endurance, artistry, and love of the road. “As long as I can still hold a guitar, I’ll keep playing,” Willie said recently. “Music’s how I breathe.”
Sharing the spotlight, Rhonda Vincent, the Grammy-winning Queen of Bluegrass, brings her unmatched vocals, dazzling mandolin, and genuine warmth to the festival. Known for her timeless songs like “Kentucky Borderline” and “All American Bluegrass Girl,” Rhonda continues to represent the purest spirit of traditional country — her performance expected to be one of the emotional high points of the weekend.
Festival organizers describe the event as a “celebration of authenticity, unity, and heart.” “Whiskey Moon isn’t just about music — it’s about moments,” said event founder Drew Copeland. “It’s about connecting artists and fans who still believe in songs that tell the truth. And having Willie and Rhonda together — that’s history in motion.”
Set along the sun-soaked beaches of Florida’s Emerald Coast, Moon Crush: Whiskey Moon will blend the energy of a major music festival with the intimacy of a coastal retreat. The event’s unique atmosphere — complete with sunset performances, acoustic beachfront sessions, and late-night jam circles — promises to make it an experience unlike any other.
Whiskey Myers will bring their gritty southern rock swagger, while Charley Crockett adds his Texas-born storytelling charm. Rising stars Shane Smith & The Saints, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Josh Meloy will round out the lineup, infusing the weekend with fresh fire and emotional depth — each artist adding their own chapter to the evolving story of American roots music.
Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement, calling the lineup “a dream come true” and “the ultimate country-meets-soul celebration.” Hashtags like #WhiskeyMoon2025 and #WillieAndRhonda began trending within hours of the announcement, with one fan summing it up perfectly: “It’s more than a concert — it’s the heart of country music, beating under the Florida sky.”
For Rhonda Vincent and Willie Nelson, both known for their humility and spiritual connection to their craft, this collaboration represents something deeply personal — a chance to share their songs, their stories, and their souls with the people who’ve walked beside them through the years.
“Music has always been about family — and country fans are family,” Rhonda said. “When we sing together, when we laugh, when we remember, that’s when the magic happens.”
With its world-class lineup, stunning coastal setting, and heartfelt message of unity, Moon Crush: Whiskey Moon 2025 is shaping up to be one of the defining musical events of the decade — a night where country, bluegrass, and southern soul all meet beneath one sky.
