This stage is now in the big room (recently added) and a great listening room. The ship maybe has the coolest history as it used to be a night club in the early heyday of KC. Check out the duet of Ron Carter and christian McBride from the Movie Kansas City. The new location is called the West Bottoms which has been the place Artists and Musicians have been thriving in for many decades. Founder Johnny first practiced his loud music down in this area in 88. It’s where the musicians met each other in too cold or too hot warehouses.
Don’t miss June 23rd Friday Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral 415 West 13th Street Kansas City, Missouri 64105

This church has the perfect sound for bass and the atmosphere is just perfect as well. It is one of KC’s oldest churches and classical groups perform here on a regular basis. Please enjoy the video below as this Francois Rabbath concert was packed and had many ticket holders that came in from around the world to watch the concert. But, of course all of us that have had the treat to hear Francois in concert know why people would want to travel across the world.
