Can someone, somehow, somewhere cover the Fred Anderson show at The Blue Room?!?! That's HUGE.
In my opinion, the most forward thinking, big-time act they have ever presented there, and I haven't heard a peep about it anywhere.
(And I don't have much confidence in JAM covering it...)
look for two media hits:
1. interview with joe klopus, kansas city star
2. interview with susan wilson, host of kc currents, kcur 89.3

*we have an e-mail blast that is distributed once a week if you want to be "in the know" on events at the blue room.
*we also have a direct mail that goes out monthly
