Hot on the heels of the release of their new studio single “The Bear” and a sold out show last weekend at Velour Live Music Gallery, Baden Ballard of Provo stomp-and-holler folk band Local Kin delivers another live performance.
This time, Ballard Performs “The Gardener.” The studio version was released on February 16, 2024 and already has over 3,000 streams. This live acoustic version was shot live at June Audio and engineered by Mason Winter.
This episode is brought to you by Savor, the 50% takeout app. Savor is a homegrown tech startup from Provo that’s hoping to eliminate the 119 billion pounds of food wasted in the US every year through the power of killer deals and timely notifications. You can learn more here.
Royalties from these acoustic sessions are split equally between the artist, the audio engineers, and Provo Music Magazine. Every time you stream, you support local artists, local studios, and local music journalism. It’s just one innovative way we’re building a sustainable, well funded music industry in Utah.
