Fridays At The Fountain: Kanin Wren’s Taylor Swift Experience

Events

Imagine the harmonies of Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Adams, and Taylor Swift all converging in one room—that’s the enchanting magic Kanin brings to the stage. Whether she’s serenading an intimate audience or commanding the attention of thousands, Kanin possesses a rare ability to captivate her listeners and leave them spellbound by her undeniable talent. Her journey truly took off during her junior year of high school when a consultant suggested the idea of a tribute to Taylor Swift. Initially hesitant, this marked a turning point in her musical career. The tribute to Taylor Swift put her on stage in front of thousands of people and allowed her to reach an audience that would have taken years to accomplish. In 2023-2024, Kanin’s musical prowess led her to sell-out amphitheaters, perform at numerous summer music series, entertain audiences at performing arts centers, fairs, and established music venues across 15 states.

Due to Kanin’s growing popularity, we are excited to announce that new shows have been added to the lineup in 2025. Audiences want more of Kanin, and we are here for it. Kanin Wren has transformed from a young girl with a guitar into a charismatic performer, enchanting audiences with her powerful vocals and authentic storytelling. Her musical journey has been characterized by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep connection with her craft.

Kanin Wren’s “Taylor Swift Experience” brings the magic of Taylor Swift’s music to life in an immersive, high-energy tribute performance.

Last #FATF22 Show of the Season: Zion Lion

Events

Please give a warm welcome to our final Fridays at the Fountain performers: Zion Lion!

Then meet us at the Brooks Memorial Fountain, August 12th – 7pm EST, for the last FATF show of the season. Everyone is welcome. Bring your own chair or blanket to keep it comfy.

Zion Lion is the “baddest band” to hit the Kalamazoo music scene. The members are a combination of several bands from the Kalamazoo area that crossed each other’s path along the way and decided to form what we believe to be the right mix of reggae, African zouk, mucosa, zoukous and some Afro-latin influences. Some of the members have had the honor of opening and sharing the stage with local, national and international reggae artists such as Freddie McGreggor, Pato Batun, Winston Jarrett, Culture, Beenie Man, Lucky Dube, Mikey Dread and the Meditations.
