Kayla Von Der Heidi w/ Ben Barry
Americana
Doors: 7pm/ By Donation
Kayla Von Der Heide is originally from the Mojave Desert of Victorville, CA. The tone and vibrato in her voice with the way she takes notes and makes the flow seamlessly together is simply breathtaking. She always puts a little bit of herself into every song she sings. She is best known for participating in season 22 of NBC's singing reality show The Voice, judged by John Legend, Camila Cabello, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.
Ben Barry grew up in the Southwest, back and forth from Arizona to New Mexico. He spent his childhood amidst many talented ranchers and musicians learning the ups and downs of hard work and genuine expression. By ten years old, Ben was playing electric guitar, banjo, steel guitar, dobro and bass. His music and lyrics are largely influenced by personal experiences growing up and working in the ranching culture of the American Southwest. Unafraid to blur the lines between genres, Ben has built a strong library of original songs where he confidently blends Country and Rock. Ben's natural ability to express himself in an extremely personal, yet universal way connects with all ages and walks of life.
