Concert of Hope

Kenz was asked to perform at a Memorial Concert honoring 2 students 

that were recently killed in a car accident.  

(click HERE to read about the accident)

Kenz met the darling three students that survived the crash before the concert began.

Lauren Fenton's mom takes a picture with Kenz before the show.

Kenz spent a lot of time trying to decide what was appropriate to sing.  

It was supposed to be a night to celebrate yet both parents and students were invited.  

The National Parks were there to get the crowd dancing and singing 

- which they did and it was AWESOME!

So Kenz decided to keep her set a little more reverent... so to speak. 

A big thank you to Sarah Davies (Piano Place) for accompanying her on piano. 

Kenz started with The Dreamer since she loves the song's message and it is up beat.

She mashed up Saturn and Here Comes the Sun knowing that those two bands were favorites of the two students who died.  

And closed the night with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

I was proud of her performance.  

Her heart was so touched by the families and she admitted after 

that she struggled to keep her emotions in check -

 wiping away tears and trying to clear her nose to be able to sing 

in the middle of all three of her songs.  

Some performances mean a little more... this was one of those.

Play it Forward

Kenz was invited to be a part of this amazing line up.  

David Devaney asked if she would be a part of a Benefit Concert at The Stereo Room,

 all the money earned would go to an artist in need.  

She didn't know the artist personally but did a little research 

and couldn't pass up the chance to be a part of something so amazing.

The line up was incredible.  

The TALENT was superb.  

The kindness of the musicians was impressing. 

David Devaney and his wife, Krista, are INSPIRING.

They put this concert together in one week.  

Hoping to get the word out.  

THE WORD GOT OUT!!  

People filled the seats... & the floor & the hallways.   

 Standing room only.  

Some of the audience knew who would receive the money and many had no idea.  

I LOVE our COMMUNITY!!  

David Devaney welcomed the audience and introduced the performers.

 Stuart Edge sang 2 songs. Then John Allred.  

He asked if Kenz would sing one of his songs with him.

Take Me to Church with John Allred

After John was Kenz

Oh Darling - Beatles

Creep - Radiohead

Who's Loving You - Jackson 5

(Thank you to Aimee Vargus for taking pictures)

Then Nate Smeding, Nate Turley, Rilee Nicole, and James Dawson WOW'd us all.

Jarom Rasmus Hulon briefly explained that he had recently decided to change his path in life and serve a mission for the LDS church adding that once he made this decision "all hell broke loose." (which usually happens in my opinion).  Then he sang. 

Before the last performer, David emotionally announced that Jarom was receiving the money.   

David gave credit to his beautiful wife, Krista, thanking her for allowing him to make her vision a reality. 

 It was awesome.  

Jarom was speechless, humbled and honored.

Amber Lynn Stoppel performed and the night ended with one more song by ALL the performers. 

This was a night I will NEVER FORGET. 

A sold out show for someone in need.  

I hope if you read this post that you click on the names highlighted 

and see what amazing people live in our community 

that are doing wonderful things with their talents.  

And then many took photos - Including this fun "selfie"!

Arby's Foundation Event

Arby's Foundation had a "Road to Ending Childhood Hunger" Event 

at Millcreek's Log Haven.

It was a BEAUTIFUL setting.  Absolutely Gorgeous!

Although Kenz has been fighting a nasty head cold and cough - she was excited to be part of this event.  She sounded great and enjoyed being in such a neat setting.
