Saw Shooting Star at Kearney Amphtheater in Kearney MO
New venue, Awesome Awesome show
Local Band Change of Heart, Heart tribute band almost better than the real thing.
Posted by: Gary Dean | July 13, 2009 at 09:04 AM
i've heard the same thing about Change of Heart.

Saw Mat Kearney and Erin McCarley at the Beaumont. Kearney was alright, but McCarley was quite impressive. She seems to be a sort of cross between Ingrid Michaelson, Meiko, and Sara Bareilles (all also Hotel Cafe alums). They must just grow em there.

I saw The ACB's Friday night at recordBar. They were great and pretty well cemented themselves as my favorite band in town.

Any reports on Leon Russell at Knuckleheads?
Posted by: Penny | July 13, 2009 at 11:29 AM
Kevin Gordon, an excellent singer-songwriter out of Nashville along with Webb Wilder at Knucklehead's on Saturday. Nice night, fun show.
Posted by: pellboy | July 13, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Webb Wilder played a great set at Knuckleheads Saturday night.
Posted by: JJ | July 13, 2009 at 01:06 PM
Webb never disappoints.
Posted by: pellboy | July 13, 2009 at 01:18 PM
I was thinking about Webb while i was at Il Divo.

Assumed there would be a review of the YES and ASIA gig at the Uptown. A show that may never come through here again. Was a good concert - both bands were great to experience. JON ANDERSON'S replacement was fine. As I heard someone else mention - be PATIENT for band reunions - like ASIA for example. Some of us waited for all four original members to reunite. Same with VAN HALEN, POLICE and STRAY CATS.

Mule ruled
Posted by: kmoon | July 15, 2009 at 04:12 PM
just saw the review for asia/yes.
it was unreadable. the guy that writes those bad reviews reviewed that show i guess.
he's getting slammed by posters over there.
i can see why. i can't make heads or tails of his writing.

Sam Bush and his band at Olathe Frontier Park rocked, bluegrassed, New Grassed, and jammed Friday night for 2 hours for FREE!
