 Ellis comes to Kansas City!Friday, February 19th
Doors open at 7pm
Concert begins at 7:30pm
Spend an evening with the award-winning folk-indie singer-songwriter Ellis! She was a featured performer on the Prairie Home Companion this past December. Ellis' performances are transformational and inspiring.
"There's just something about Ellis. She is at once funny and wise, thoughtful and uninhibited, and her captivating voice is matched by her uplifting lyrics. If you looked up the definition of open-hearted in the dictionary, you just might find her photo there. Ellis' performances are transformational; she leaves her audiences better than she finds them, with softened edges & opened hearts." Ellis-music.com
Freebo Keynote Concert
Sunday, February 28th, 1:30pm
To folk, rock and blues musicians, Freebo is an icon. This award winning musical artist has  turned his attention toward sharing the wisdom of the soul through the spoken word as well. This afternoon of music and conversation is brought to you by a master.
During a 30-year career, he provided the solid bass foundation for such artists as Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Maria Muldaur, Neil Young and many others. He is now out front, giving inspiring and intimate concerts of songs that speak to the spiritual nature and yearnings of humanity.
He's been touring as a singer-songwriter for the past 15 years and has also developed a career as an inspirational speaker, tying in songs from his record "If Not Now, When?" with his own story, hoping to connect with audiences and help them reach their own goals. Don't miss your chance to share an inspiring afternoon with this amazing artist. http://www.freebomusic.com/
