We are just 2 DAYS AWAY from the Ballad of WV, which means it’s time for our final Tune Drop Thursday! 🎶⏳

Today, we’re highlighting the journey of our headliner, Kindred Valley! 🎸🌾 Their indie folk roots started back in 2020 when three Marshall University friends—Blake Lacy, Noah Freeman, and Brett McCoy—started writing together in Huntington. By 2021, the band grew into the powerhouse they are today with the addition of Kaden Salmons and husband-and-wife duo Rachael and Jadon Hayes! 🙌✨

👇 The countdown is officially on! Don't wait until it's too late—lock in your tickets today at balladofwv.com! 🎟️🕺
