Genevieve Heyward

Genevieve Heyward is an indie rock singer-songwriter bringing her distinctive sound to Newport. Based in Nashville but rooted in Wisconsin, she's built a career touring nationally and internationally, performing original songs marked by honest lyrics and energetic arrangements. Her raspy yet smooth voice has caught the attention of major artists—she's opened for acts including Ethel Cain, Butch Walker, and Gayle, and recently appeared on the newest season of American Idol, where audiences embraced her humor and authentic personality as much as her vocal talent. This all-ages show welcomes families to experience live music at an intimate venue. Doors open early so you can settle in before the performance begins. Tickets start at $17.15, making this an affordable way to introduce kids to quality live music and discover a rising artist who's earned her stage presence through relentless touring and genuine connection with her audience.
