On this week's episode of Eight One Sixty, we're handing the show over to guests Les Izmore (Heartfelt Anarchy/Arquesta Del SolSoul) and Kemet Coleman (The Phantastics/Kemet the Phantom) as we celebrate Black History Month on the show.

One of them picked some historic KC musicians and the other picked current and upcoming acts. It’s going to be a good show as we share music picked by two of my favorite voices, acts and storytellers in KC music, Les and Kemet.

We’ll hear from Nublvckcity, Bobby Watson, The Black Creatures, Bennie Moten’s KC Orchestra, Hi-Lux, Tech N9ne, Joe Turner, and Tonina (STL).

On this week's episode of the Eight One Sixty, we’re throwing a lovefest! We’re getting an early start on Valentine’s Day and digging back in our KC music catalog to do so. We’ll play a variety of love songs — some happy ones, sad ones, feel good ones and angry ones too.

For this week’s show, we’ve got music that’s between seven and 20+ years old! In addition to playing the songs, we’ve reached out to the musicians for a little back story on these love songs.

We’ll hear music from Cowboy Indian Bear, Frogpond, Kristen May of Vedera, The New Amsterdams, The Appleseed Cast, Elevator Division, It’s Over, capybara, The Gaslights and The Get Up Kids. It should be a fun and entertaining show, and maybe you’ll learn something about one of your old favorite bands or favorite songs.

It’s all about David Bowie on this week's episode of Eight One Sixty! We're talking about this weekend’s two tribute shows: the 5th Annual The Band That Fell To Earth KC Tribute To David Bowie at recordBar on Friday, Jan. 24 and Saturday, Jan. 25. For the fifth year now, 13 of the city’s most prominent rock, blues, jazz and folk musicians will come together to celebrate the great David Bowie.

Every year the shows sell out, so get your tickets now! On the radio show we’ll be joined by band leader, Michelle Bacon, and she’ll tell us about this year’s events, guest musicians and charities involved.

On the show we’ll listen to some David Bowie, we’ll hear The Band That Fell To Earth KC’s treatment of Bowie’s “Boys Keep Swinging,” and we’ll also hear music from one of this year’s special guest collaborators, Heidi Phillips, formerly of Frogpond and currently performing with Danny Krause.

This week's episode of Eight One Sixty is all about new music! First up, Various Blonde will stop by to talk about their brand new EP, curiously titled "3S 1.” We’ll also talk about their upcoming shows and a special benefit show happening on March 8 at recordBar, with a reunited Elevator Division and money raised from the show benefitting The Eshelman family.

Eight One Sixty is kicking off 2020 with two special guests stopping by The Bridge studios!

Bandwaggn Kansas City's mission is to empower girls and trans youth to build community through authentic relationships, and lead a movement toward collective liberation. The event will serve as a fundraiser for the cause.

Then we'll sit down with Claire Adams and she's going to share some brand new songs with us! She's got a big show coming up this Saturday, Jan. 11 at recordBar and she's collaborating with Rewound, a contemporary string trio and together they'll perform an amazing night of music.
