BENTONVILLE, AR -- (Marketwired) -- 09/20/16

NBC's The Voice finalist and Arkansas native Barrett Baber is set to perform at the 2016 Sam's Club® National BBQ Tour Championship on Oct. 1. This is the final stop of the nation's largest Professional BBQ Tour in Bentonville, Ark.

Starting at 11 a.m., Baber will be at the Sam's Club® Headquarters to sign autographs, meet the 50 best BBQ Teams in the country, and wow everyone in attendance with his unique and soulful country sound.

Growing up in Marion, Ark., Baber's inspiration for singing and creating music started with frequent visits to Beale Street in Memphis, Tenn. and the corners of downtown Memphis gave Baber his first exposures to the street performers and artists steeped in blues, R&B, country and rock.

Baber will take the stage just after 1 p.m., and the day's festivities will conclude with winners taking home their share of a $150,000 prize purse later that afternoon.

This Sam's Club® National BBQ Tour stop is free and open to the public, giving both country music fans and backyard barbeque enthusiasts front row seats to the concert and competition. Series director & esteemed pitmaster, Michael McDearman, will offer samples of quality products to all event attendees while demonstrating grilling tips & techniques. The public is encouraged to attend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
