What a privilege and a pleasure it is to be sharing a stage with none other than The Gibson Brothers as part of the OlatheLive! concert series in September. Here's what the world has to say about these two:

"...bluegrass superstars" ~ The New York Times

“They have it all: lead vocals, brother-duet harmony, 
instrumental virtuosity, ensemble sensibilities, and great original material." ~ Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine

"...when I hear someone like the Gibson Brothers, I know it’s them from the first note. They have that little thing in their voices that no one else has..." ~ Del McCoury

Ma'am Magazine presents Americana singer-songwriter Kelly Hunt for an evening of original folk music and storytelling.

Stas' Heaney will be joining me for a live-in-studio performance on the much-beloved "River Trade Radio" show, Sunday, Apr. 8th at 9:30 am. This performance will be part of the annual "KKFI Band Auction," an "on-air music festival" featuring over 50 of Kansas City's favorite local music acts.

How it works: donors are invited to bid on a musical act of their choosing by calling into the station during their on-air performance.. The highest bidder for each musical act wins a 2 hr. performance by the featured musicians sometime within the upcoming year. This wonderful event is brought to you by 90.1 KKFI and sponsored by Stockyards Brewing Co.!
