SUMMARY:Live Music: Chloe Kimes
DESCRIPTION:The Nashville based singer-songwriter is actively defining the next generation of folk-singing troubadours with an old-soul sensibility for storytelling in a spirited alt-country outfit. She released her debut album in 2022\, a strikingly live self-titled with rafter reaching vocals and songwriting that garnered her comparisons to the likes of Lucinda Williams (Jonathan Frahm\, For Folk’s Sake) and landed her a spot on NPR Music’s Top 10 Nashville Artist’s on the rise in 2022. Since then\, the record has also been awarded Listener’s Choice Album of the Year by her home state’s WYCE Radio Jammie Awards. Following in the footsteps of many Michigan artists looked up to throughout her career\, (Billy Strings\, Lindsay Lou\, The Accidentals\, to name a few) Kimes continues to forge the Michigan-native-Nashville-based pipeline with an electric band not to be missed. \nJoin us for a concert under the pavilion at our Cider Shed conveniently located between the Country Store and Restaurant at our Belleville Farm. This concert is family-friendly. Delicious food & tasty drinks will be available for purchase from our Cider Shed; no outside food or drinks are allowed. Dogs are permitted in outdoor areas\, as long as they are on a leash. Please note: This is general admission seating means there are a limited number of tables\, chairs\, and stools available and all seats are available on a first come first service basis.
