Leadership Northwest Missouri is hosting the annual Music Jam in Trenton on Saturday, August 31, with a top finalist from 'The Voice' headlining the event.
Jenna Stevens, with Leadership Northwest Missouri, says rising country star Jordan Rainer, will perform. "She was on Team Reba from NBC's The Voice last season. She made it to the semi-finals and we're excited to have her light up the stage in Trenton."
Rainer has opened for several popular country music stars. Some of which include Luke Combs, Lee Ann Womack, and Brantley Gilbert.
Stevens adds that Trenton High School sophomore, Makayla Mejia, will serve as the opening act, "She's got a great setlist ready for everyone on Saturday and we're excited to hear what she's got."
This is the fourth year of the Music Jam, which takes place at Black Silo Winery. The proceeds will benefit Leadership Northwest Missouri's new scholarship initiative. Stevens notes that two scholarships have already been awarded this year.
Stevens explains the Leadership Northwest Missouri program is, "for community leaders or people who want to become leaders in their community within the nineteen county region of Northwest Missouri."
Tickets are $25 through Eventbrite and $30 at the gate.
Stevens notes that food vendors will be on site, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. The gates open at 6:30 and the Music Jam begins at 7:00 p.m.
