Kindred Valley began its journey in 2020 when three friends with a shared passion for music met at Marshall University. Originally known as Back Row Baptists, Blake Lacy, Noah Freeman, and Brett McCoy started writing and recording music in Huntington, West Virginia. The band’s line-up expanded in 2021 with the addition of husband and wife duo Rachael and Jadon Hayes, and Kaden Salmons. This new ensemble catalyzed a creative surge, resulting in the band’s evolution and their rebranding to Kindred Valley.
Their debut album, released at the end of 2022, features remastered versions of their early singles along with new tracks that reflect their deep Appalachian roots and ambitious future. Their evocative melodies and heartfelt lyrics will resonate within the historic walls of the Pocahontas County Opera House, offering a night of music that is both touching and inspiring.
The performance will begin at 7:00 PM, and guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure the best seats, as the venue operates on a first-come, first-served seating policy. It’s worth noting that all performances this season will begin at 7:00 PM. The Opera House prides itself on being accessible and inclusive, with special accommodations available upon request to ensure everyone can enjoy the music comfortably.
Tickets for the event require a $10 donation for adults, while admission is free for those aged 17 and younger. To purchase tickets, please visit the Pocahontas County Opera House website at pocahontasoperahouse.org, stop by the 4th Avenue Gallery in Marlinton, or buy them directly at the venue on the evening of the performance.
