Carson City outdoor concert headliner Whitney Myer brings soulful nexus to center stage
The Levitt AMP Carson City outdoor concert series returns this Saturday, July 16 with indie-pop artist Whitney Meyer as headliner for a night of powerful live music at The Change Companies stage.
A nexus of R&B, hip-pop and rock 'n roll, Whitney Myer’s soulful vocals and electrifying live performances have mesmerized audiences, earning her featured appearances at Lightning in a Bottle, The Bounce Festival and SXSW.
Drawing inspiration from musicians like Prince, Little Dragon and Bjork, Whitney Myer has shared the stage with the likes of Allen Stone, DEV and Fitz And The Tantrums.
Whitney Myer burst on to the scene in 2012, wowing Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton on NBC’s “The Voice” in 2012. Her show stopping rendition of Alicia Keys “No One” turned the chairs of all four judges. That same year Whitney released her first solo EP “The Articles of Luminous Nature”. The record highlights not only her soulful voice but also her focused musical prowess as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Opening for Whitney is Eric Henry Andersen, an award-winning songwriter and co-lead singer/songwriter of pop and rock group The Novelists.
