The night kicked off with a welcome toast from host Minnick alongside NFL legend Terry Bradshaw and the world’s top female sports bettor Amanda Vance, as well as a meet & greet with recent Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jared Allen. Bradshaw and Vance later joined Minnick for a conversation about NFL success, Super Bowl LIX predictions and the return of Bradshaw Bourbon.
Attendees were then treated to a live performance from multi-PLATINUM-selling country artist Dierks Bentley, who performed hits "Drunk on a Plane," "What Was I Thinkin'" and "I Hold On,” followed by a live Fred Minnick Show interview, where he shared about his songwriting process and his new ROW 94 bourbon.
In addition to Bentley’s performance, attendees got to hear standout performances from rising singer-songwriter Dani Rose and globally recognized rock-turned-country artist Danny Worsnop, who both joined Minnick for a couch conversation about the grind of being an artist, plans for future music and more.
Actors Ian Somerhalder (LOST, Vampire Diaries) and Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) joined Minnick on stage for a live Fred Minnick Show interview. Somerhalder shared signed bottles of his Brothers Bond bourbon, shared about his love for regenerative farming, and revealed some never-before-heard stories about his time filming for the hit show LOST. McElhenney, an avid Eagles fan, led the crowd in several E-A-G-L-E-S chants and teased what's happening in Season 17 of It's Always Sunny, which drops in June.
