The Show
Trisha Yearwood is coming to the State Theatre in Ithaca in 2026, and catching an artist of this caliber in a theater setting is the kind of opportunity you don’t let pass by. Yearwood has been one of country music’s defining voices since her debut single “She’s in Love with the Boy” went straight to number one in 1991, and her live performances carry the kind of effortless power that only comes from decades of doing this at the highest level. In a room the size of the State Theatre, that voice is going to fill every corner.
This is an artist who has sold millions of records, won three Grammys, and built a second career as a Food Network star — but when she steps on stage, all of that falls away and it’s just about the music. “How Do I Live,” “Walkaway Joe,” “XXX’s and OOO’s” — these songs are woven into the fabric of ’90s and 2000s country, and hearing them live in an intimate setting is a different experience entirely from arena tours.
About Trisha Yearwood
Trisha Yearwood emerged from the early ’90s Nashville explosion as one of the genre’s most powerful vocalists — a singer who could sell vulnerability and strength in the same breath. Her debut album went double platinum, and she followed it with a string of hits that established her as a permanent fixture in country music. Beyond the music, Yearwood has become a household name through her Emmy-winning Food Network show Trisha’s Southern Kitchen and her bestselling cookbooks. But the live show is where she started, and it remains where she’s at her best.
