⭐️ MEET THE HEADLINERS ⭐️

Last, but certainly not least, our final performer in the spotlight for our upcoming Canton City Limits HEADLINER concert is Sydney Shoemaker, with Branden Blackwell and Tyler Frush!

'Sydney Shoemaker was born and raised in South Georgia, with roots that run deep under the pines of the South, and a voice that dances through them. She’s been singing since the day she was born…or maybe it was more like a loud cry - who knows, right? Grow up wasn't easy, but music has been there for her since the beginning. Writing songs has always been more than an escape, it was what saved her life. Her music is heavily influenced by the great artists who came before her - Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, to name a few. Though she knows she may never live up to the mark they left behind, she works to keep their sound alive. Sydney sees music as a universal language that is communicated by everyone and everything in some shape or form. To quote her directly: “Music is something I hope, I know, can bring people together in such a beautiful and special way. We just have to be willing to really listen. Music asks that of people. My songwriting asks that of me.”'


We are so excited to celebrate Sydney, Branden, Tyler, and our other co-headliners October 16th at 7PM! Tickets are free, so bring all of your friends for a night of live, local music you won’t forget!

⭐️ MEET THE HEADLINERS ⭐️

Next up in the spotlight for our upcoming Canton City Limits HEADLINER concert is Kimmer!

"Kimmer is a singer/songwriter with soulful melodies that mesh really well with the sound of her guitar. Her mission is to share her heart for God and to remind people that they are worth it. Kimmer can often be found at different performance venues, stacking Lego Bricks together while vibin’ out to the music coming from the stage. Whether it’s Lego Scenes or lyrical poetry, Kimmer strives to be her best, always learning, always creating, and always being musically connected. 'When there is nothing left to say, my heart song sums it up.'"


We are so excited to celebrate Kimmer and our other co-headliners October 16th at 7PM! Tickets are free, so bring all of your friends for a night of live, local music you won’t forget!
