The Beatles 45 years Ago in KC
On Aug.18 1964, when the Beatles arrived in San
Francisco, to begin their first monster tour of
America, 26 concerts were planned. Waiting for them was
Charles Finley, the owner of the Kansas City A's
Baseball team. Apparently, he had personally promised
the kids of Missouri a Beatles concert. He first
offered The Beatles manager $50,000. to add K.C. to the
tour and was turned down. He then offered $100,000 and
was still turned down. Finley finally writes a $150,000
check. This makes musical history, as the highest paid
concert to date. On September 17th 1964, playing a
thirty-two minute set to crowd of about 20,000 in
Kansas City Missouri, The Beatles made $4,838. a minute
for their performance. the Humphrey Collection will be
on display and some rare photo's of the Beatles live in
KC will be on a slide show and some prints will be for
sale

Sunday 9/13
Guy Forsyth (Folk/Rock, Tin Pan alley)
It's been a long and dusty, winding road for Austin singer/songwriter Guy Forsyth that's lead to a recent surge in praise over his dazzling live shows and his rich Americana roots sound. Forsyth (vocals, acoustic, electric, & slide guitar, harmonica, ukulele, singing saw), along with Will Landin (bass/tuba) and Rob Hooper (drums/Cajon), bring a unique mixture of styles such as folk, rock, country, and Tin Pan Alley to create a sound that's as heterogeneous, raw and compelling as America itself. You'll hear powerhouse vocals deliver energetic yarns about love, the government and the apocalypse, to name a few, as Forsyth and company squeeze everything they have into each song and rarely come up for air.
7pm $10
