5:30-6:30pm Opening Act
7-8:30pm Jamie MacDonald
Singer/songwriter Jamie MacDonald is one of the newest members of the Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) family. After years of honing her craft behind the scenes, MacDonald has quickly emerged as a breakout artist, earning widespread attention for her powerful debut and authentic storytelling. With over 1.3M monthly Spotify listeners, 150M+ global streams, and 135M+ social views, she has built a rapidly growing fanbase. Her career includes major radio success—including multiple #1 hits with “Desperate” and “Left It In The River”—alongside collaborations with top Nashville songwriters, producers, and artists like Lauren Daigle. As the only Christian artist selected for both Spotify and Amazon Music’s 2026 Artists To Watch lists, her music has also been featured across film, television, and major network placements. MacDonald recently released her self-titled debut album, “Jamie MacDonald,” making history as the biggest debut album streaming launch for a female artist in the Christian genre and hitting #3 on the Billboard Top Christian Album chart. The album explores themes of hope and healing, showcasing her exceptional vocals and light-filled message centered on leaving fear behind and stepping boldly into what’s next.
Rise & Shine is more than a concert, it’s a community movement rooted in hope, worship, and unity. From 2022 to 2024, the event was held at Mequon Rotary Park, and in 2025 it found its new home at the beautiful FoxYard in Mequon.
Rise & Shine 2026 is a free event and no registration is required. We invite you to come and enjoy an uplifting evening of music, worship, and community.
This year, the venue layout is being thoughtfully enhanced to improve flow and expedite food and beverage service, creating the best possible experience for all attendees.
