Best known for his five-times platinum hit “Home,” Phillips first captured the nation’s attention as the winner of American Idol Season 11 and has continued to evolve as a powerhouse singer-songwriter. With over 1.5 billion streams and 4.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his music resonates with fans around the world. From his debut album The World From The Side Of The Moon to his most recent releases, Phillips’ sound blends heartfelt lyrics with a soulful, roots-driven style. He has toured with artists like John Mayer and The Goo Goo Dolls and is known for his high-energy, emotionally driven live performances. With new music, including his latest single “Homesick,” and a headline tour on the horizon, Phillips is bringing that same energy and authenticity to Saratoga for one truly special night. “We are so excited to welcome Phillip Phillips to the farm this year,” said Meg Koloskie, Development and Communications Manager at Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga. “This event has grown into something really special for our community, and bringing an artist like Phillip here feels like such a natural fit. It is going to be an incredible night, and at the end of it all, it supports the horses and the people who need this work the most.” Now in its fourth year, the Charity Benefit Concert has become a signature summer event in Saratoga Springs, drawing hundreds of attendees for an intimate evening of live music in a one-of-a-kind setting. Held at the farm, the concert directly supports Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga’s mission to provide Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and other Equine-Assisted mental health programming for individuals, children, families, couples, Veterans, Service Members, and all others in need of support. With another sell-out year on the horizon, guests can expect an incredible lineup of food and beverage partners, including Franklin Square Market, Neighborhood Kitchen Pizza, and more to be announced, along with refreshing drinks from Old Tavern Farm Winery & Distillery and Druthers Brewing Company. Two bar locations will help keep lines moving and glasses full throughout the evening. The evening will also feature a standout lineup of incredible local talent, including exciting new opener Caity Gallagher, along with the return of crowd favorite The Wallies featuring Gianna Robustiano, who will get the night started and carry the energy straight into Phillip Phillips. Sponsorship opportunities are available now at https://thsaratoga.org/phillipphillips/ and general admission tickets will be available June 1st.
