Barrett Baber opens West Street Live

Barrett Baber will kick off the 2024-25 West Street Live Series at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1 at Walton Arts Center. After receiving the coveted four-chair turn on the ninth season of NBC’s “The Voice,” the Arkansas native has established himself as an artist and a songwriter on the rise, according to a press release from the 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.
