The Sweet Potatoes at Metropolis

The Sweet Potatoes come out of Southern California to dish up a fresh blend of folk, country and homespun Americana. They'll bring a smile to your face with sweet harmonies and finely crafted songwriting. As seasoned veterans of the entertainment industry, Kelly Macleod, Laura Hall and Rick Hall create music that is the culmination of their combined past experiences, passions and joys. The Sweet Potatoes concerts feel a bit like a variety show, with original music, fresh takes on traditional and cover songs, and a little back porch storytelling. They love connecting with live audiences across the country.

Kelly Macleod (guitar) cut her teeth on the road after being discovered by Eddie Van Halen while singing at a local club in Shreveport, La. Eddie brought her band, “Private Life” on his world tour, and produced their two albums. Laura Hall (guitar, ukulele, accordion) is best known as the pianist on the hit TV show, “Whose Line is it Anyway”. She came up in the acoustic music scene in Chicago, teaching at The Old Town School of Music, and playing in bands with Michael Smith, Buddy Mondlock and Tim Grimm. Rick Hall (bass, harmonica) is also an actor who has done hundreds of commercials and television shows, and is best known as Agent Johnson on Disney's “KC Undercover”. Laura and Rick met on the road with The Second City National Touring Company.
