Barrett Baber will kick off the 2024-25 West Street Live Series at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1 at Walton Arts Center.

Baber is well known in the Nashville songwriting world with multiple cuts and a certified Platinum single recorded by artist Cody Johnson. After spending several years solely focused on “writing for cuts,” Baber began releasing his own music again in 2024.
West Street Live is presented by Neal Pendergraft and features the best singer/songwriters of today in an intimate, listening room setting. Cabaret seating is $55 and tiered seating is $35.
