This is a night you won't want to miss.
From National TV to Historic Main Street
Makenzie Phipps recently captured the hearts of millions across the country with her powerful voice and undeniable country charm. As a standout contestant on the latest season of The Voice, she earned a coveted spot on Team Snoop. Her blind audition, a fiery rendition of Lainey Wilson's "4x4xU," had the coaches turning their chairs and the audience roaring with applause.
Throughout the competition, Makenzie showcased her vocal talent and celebrated her Appalachian heritage, making her hometown proud with every note she sang.
Her time on the show was a platform to share the rich musical traditions of Southwest Virginia with a national audience. Now, she's bringing that same passion and energy back to where it all began. This performance at Wayfarer Appalachia is a unique opportunity to see a rising star in an intimate setting, right here in the heart of the community that has supported her from the start.
