Mcphee Showcases New Music At Prestigious Festival

In her recent Instagram post, McPhee wrote: “Debuted a couple of new tracks at @liveinthevineyard this past week. So excited for you guys to hear what we’ve been working on.” The post included performance images from the event, showing McPhee on stage delivering what appears to be an emotional performance.

The Live in the Vineyard festival, known for showcasing both established artists and rising talents in intimate settings among Napa Valley’s vineyards, provided the perfect backdrop for McPhee to introduce her new material to an appreciative audience.

Studio Sessions Hint At Upcoming Release

This festival appearance comes shortly after McPhee teased her musical activities on social media. In a previous Instagram post, she shared: “been hard at work in the studio lately 🫣” suggesting that a new album or EP might be on the horizon. The American Idol alum has been relatively quiet on the recording front in recent years, making this new music particularly anticipated by fans.

McPhee’s musical style has evolved throughout her career, from the pop-oriented sound of her early post-American Idol days to more sophisticated adult contemporary material in recent years. Her collaborations with husband David Foster, the 16-time Grammy-winning producer and composer, have further refined her musical direction.

Career Spanning Television, Broadway And Music

Katharine McPhee rose to fame as the runner-up on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006. Since then, she has built a diverse entertainment career. According to her Wikipedia profile, McPhee has released five studio albums and starred in television series including NBC’s musical drama “Smash” and CBS’s “Scorpion.”

Her Broadway credentials include starring as Jenna in the hit musical “Waitress” both on Broadway and in London’s West End. Most recently, she has been promoting the Broadway musical “Boop” on Instagram.

Touring And Collaborations

McPhee has been actively touring with her husband David Foster. In February, she announced upcoming summer performances with Foster and Chris Botti, writing: “David Foster and @chrisbottimusic join forces this summer for an evening of world-class music, timeless hits, soul stirring jazz and touching performances.”

Just last month, McPhee concluded the West Coast leg of her tour, thanking fans: “Tonight concludes our West Coast leg of the tour. Thank you to everyone who’s been to our show. I love seeing you all on the road. 🫶🏼🤍”

What’s Next For McPhee

While specific details about McPhee’s upcoming music release haven’t been revealed, the Live in the Vineyard festival performance suggests that an official announcement could be imminent. The festival, which focuses on providing intimate music experiences, typically attracts industry professionals alongside devoted music fans, making it an ideal venue for testing new material.

For fans of McPhee, who has demonstrated her versatility across multiple entertainment platforms, this return to her musical roots represents an exciting new chapter. Her work with David Foster, who has produced some of the biggest names in adult contemporary music, suggests that whatever emerges will showcase her powerful vocals in sophisticated arrangements.

As McPhee continues to balance her acting career with her musical pursuits, these new tracks performed at Live in the Vineyard offer the first concrete evidence that fresh recorded material may soon be available to her dedicated fanbase.
