Psych-folk singer songwriter Kadey Ballard delivers intimate performances of spellbinding mountain hymns. Her hypnotic songs are dreamy incantations of love and loss. Ballard’s music is a catalogue of personal and universal lore, conjured by humming acoustic-electric soundscapes and ethereal, bewitching vocals.

“Accomplished actress Kadey Ballard proves just as accomplished at making music with her haunted hymns and Appalachian infused incantations.” - QCNerve - Critic’s Pick Best Singer Songwriter 2023

PLOW is a dance performance that explores the intimacy of home. It has become an offering of acceptance and reclaiming of my upbringing in Central Appalachia.

Central Appalachia contains an essence, a unique awareness of self, as land and memory are deeply connected to identity. The choreography of PLOW embraces the concept of place as a pause in movement; it restructures common mis-representations of ‘home’, the value of proximity, the land, the customs, and the assumptions, examining our understanding of culture and place.
