The Ritz Theatre is proud to present this months "Artist on the Move" Kenzie Wheeler, a young country artist with a classic country sound. Just 19 years old, the 2016 Strawberry Crest High School graduate is pursuing his dream singing Country Music. At the age of 15 he began his career by singing karaoke at "Uncle Mikes" in his hometown of Plant City.
In 2016 he was chosen as the first Tampa Teen Idol. Since then he is proud to share that he has opened for country artists Charlie Daniels and Michael Ray. In 2017 Kenzie performed at a variety of events, most recently opening for Ted Torres Martin presenting ELVIS at the Ritz Theatre in December. The Band will accompany Kenzie Wheeler on the Stage at The Ritz Theatre.
Kenzies has been influenced by one of his favorite country singers, George Strait, and what he calls old school country. Someday he hopes to sing on the big stage and of course the Grand Ole Opry.
You can find Kenzies original songs on ITunes, Spodify, and more "Just Once in a While" and "Talk to You".
Proceeds from this event will benefit the restoration of the Ritz Theatre a 501 C 3 Not-for-Profit Corporation.
