I LOVE KC MUSIC

I had seen Mad Libby one time before this show. It was a one time only acoustic set at Ollie's Local. I was not expecting the show that I got and it was the best surprise ever! Mad Libby doesn't just play music, they put on a show. Their energy on stage is high and they have fantastic chemistry. Davy's Uptown was packed with an audience who were there in the moment rocking right along with them. It was a fun show were the audience was giving and getting as much as the ba

The Olivia Fox Album Release Show was a night of empowered woman rocking the stage. Nicki White started off the night with blues. She has a sultry yet powerful voice that stopped me in my tracks. The show was at the outside stage of Knuckleheads outdoor stage and it started raining during Nicki's set. She joked from stage if she smelled because everyone moved to the seats under the roof. She didn't let this deter her from playing a great set. She engaged the crowd with her la

Want a push to get through the rest of the week? Go out to a show for a little midweek joy. New KC band Myry started of the night with some dreamy indie pop. Their music is filled with rich layers, sweet beachy guitar vibes with a hit of melancholy. As they played colorful shapes projected over them adding to the moody vibes of the music. The miniBar was packed on a Wednesday night and with good reason, the set was amazing! Pala Zolo (Lawrence, KC) followed with a upbeat se

Kelly Hunt and Stas' played the second show in The Mark Music Shows concert series this year. This music series has been host to some incredible music and this night was no different. Kelly had the crowd hanging on every word. Kelly's music has this way of transporting you into the exact moment of the song. Kelly with the voice of a sweet song bird paired with the soft melodies picked on the guitar and the strings bowed on Stas' violin make magic that mesmorized the crowd

For a first Friday, spending the night with Slywave was full of ecstatic energy. Attendees, strangers, gathering in groups, becoming friends and dancing the night away. The emotion presented by the artists left the crowd begging for more. The night of 11/02 will not be easily forgotten. The passion and love will be implemented in memories forever. As doors open, people flood in getting as close as they could to the stage. The show was insanely sold out and the audience was br

Day one of the festival really felt like day two after having attending the Westport Roots Festival Pre-Party. Each stage was packed with great roots music from near and far. The sun was high in the sky at noon when the festival started. After a late night at the Pre-Party, brunch is an order. The Breakfast Sides (Springfield, MO) kicked things off on the outdoor stage. Normally when you see The Breakfast Sides it's the talented duo - Betsey and Chad or Biscuits and Gravy

As I walked up to the Westport Coffee Shop, I was asked if I was there for the Matchsellers show. When I answered yes I was show to a step staircase that transported me to another world. With each step it grew a little darker. The stage twinkled in starry laser lights as people buzzed with anticipation for the start of the show. It was already clear this wasn't going to like most concerts. The Bluegrastronauts...err The Matchsellers joined by The Breakfast Sides took the stag

It was a night of all the rock and exploring boundaries at the miniBar on January 20, 2018. Witch Jail got it started with rock and a twist of dark magic in their music. Keep your eyes peeled for their music coming out this Friday (March 9). North by North (Chicago) continued to kept the night going with a gritty rock. For only two people they fill a room with rich guitar licks and danceable beats. The dance party continuted with Various Blonde turning up to volume and

It was a quiet night in the city and in the warmth of the Westport Saloon, two cool roots bands played their music. Each band was a husband and wife duo. Fort Defiance warmed up the stage and Scotch Hollow closed out the night on January 18, 2018. Fort Defiance (Nashville, TN) spends most of their year touring playing their fine music. Fort Defiance’s music made me fall in love with love again. Watching Laurel and Jordan interact on stage was fun, seeing how much they love th

On January 17, 2018 Sound 81 Productions hosted a music showcase. It was set after set after set of stop you in your tracks beautiful music. The miniBar’s upstairs is sometimes affectionately called The Disaster Room, on this week night it was transformed into an intimate listening room. Each set flowed perfectly together. The power of their talent took my breath away. These musicians not only have a way with words (and do they ever have a way with words), but each note and c
