Kindred Valley at the Raccoon Motel -- September 28.
Monday, September 28, 6 p.m.
Raccoon Motel, 315 East Second Street, Davenport IA
With Roots Music Rambler calling the outfit "a folksier version of Fleetwood Mac, largely because of the diverse roster of musical talent throughout the group and the harmonies," the touring sextet Kindred Valley headlines a September 28 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, Reveler Experiences raving about the group's "thoughtful Americana sound that’s a little bit rock, a little bit folk and a little bit Appalachian ... . The harmonies are sweet and the lyrics are heartfelt and authentic."
As stated at KVBand.com: "Indie folk band Kindred Valley started when three friends with a passion for music met at Marshall University in 2020. Initially under the name Back Row Baptists, Blake Lacy, Noah Freeman, and Brett McCoy met in Huntington, West Virginia, and began writing and recording music together. The band released its first singles as a trio but found its footing in 2021 with three new members – husband and wife Rachael and Jadon Hayes and Kaden Salmons.
“With three new members and a flurry of new ideas, the band needed a new name. Now named Kindred Valley, Lacy and Salmons wrote an early version of the band’s single 'Whistle' during the group’s first meet-up. With new blood and fresh ideas flowing, Kindred Valley released its fifth single, 'The Wedding Song,' in 2021.
“After almost two years of creative efforts, the group released its self-titled debut album at the end of 2022. This was followed by an EP titled What Was Left containing ideas and songs inspired by their new experiences of playing live together all across the East Coast.”
Reveler Experiences, meanwhile, raved that "Kindred Valley is a band toeing the line between Americana, Indie Folk, and Folk Rock" who "combine their Appalachian culture and roots with personal stories and experiences to create sounds and lyrics that grip the listener and bring them into the artists’ inner worlds."
Kindred Valley performs their headlining engagement in Davenport on September 28, admission to the 6 p.m. concert is $19.84, and more information and tickets are available by visiting TheRaccoonMotel.com.
