    Grayson Capps brings unhurried storytelling and raw Southern roots, shaped by years of reflection and a hard-won sense of ease. His latest solo release, Scarlett Roses, his first in six years, emerged after he let go of strict timelines and allowed songs to arrive in their own time, then captured them live in the studio to keep their spark. The music looks at separation, fatherhood, aging parents, and attempts to self medicate, yet it still finds humor, beauty, and catharsis. Expect raspy vocals, plainspoken honesty, and a sound that moves from intimate acoustic moments to gritty rock and funky blues. An Alabama native who first made noise in New Orleans with the House Levelers and Stavin’ Chain, Capps launched a solo run with If You Knew My Mind and followed with Wail & Ride, Songbones, Rott & Roll, and The Lost Cause Minstrels, along with the collaborative Willie Sugarcapps project. His work has drawn praise for energy and authenticity from outlets including NPR’s Mountain Stage, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Exclaim, JamBase, AllMusic, Blurt, and American Songwriter.

    This spIN Focus session celebrates Paul McCartney’s 1970 solo debut, McCartney, with a concentrated listen that highlights the album’s intimate, homespun spirit. A short introduction sets the scene, touching on the quiet tension around the Beatles’ breakup, the secretive DIY approach at his London home and at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios, and how this unassuming release opened a new chapter for one of pop’s most celebrated songwriters. The record will then be played from start to finish without interruption so every acoustic texture, warm bass line, and vocal detail shines on a high fidelity system featuring components from Audio Note, Perlisten, and Cambridge Audio. Hear how McCartney, working on a four-track and handling every instrument himself with Linda adding harmonies, helped shape the blueprint for modern lo-fi and bedroom pop, with standouts including Every Night, Junk, and Maybe I’m Amazed. A $10 donation supports Center For Recorded Music 501(c)(3) and includes admission, complimentary snacks, and one complimentary beverage from a selection of soft drinks, flavored waters, tea, beer, wine, mixed drinks, and NA options.

    Here Together: food, stories and sound

    4327 Troost Ave, Kansas City · verified Oct 4
    See details

    Here Together is a shared circle shaped by potluck food, candid conversation, rhythm, and attentive presence. Participants gather on cushions and blankets either in the Creative Empowerment Collective studio with its bamboo floor or at an outdoor spot selected together at the close of the prior gathering, such as a park or a forest trail. The experience begins with intentional arrival, offering a choice between smudging or the warm scent of tulsi, rose, and chai herbs rubbed into the palms. From there, the time flows in a grounded, lively way. Food is exchanged potluck style, stories surface naturally, and sound moves through the circle with snapping, clapping, improvised singing, and at times a song played from a phone when it clearly fits the moment. This is a setting for people seeking genuine company, straightforward talk, and meaningful connection in real time. Some come ready to speak, others to listen, and those arriving solo are welcomed with ease. Children are welcome. Little preparation is needed beyond something to share for the potluck and anything that supports comfortable sitting. Presence comes first, and each person can participate in the rhythm of the gathering in the way that feels right. Many leave feeling seen, and they may also carry home a new idea, a recipe, a fresh perspective, or a story that lingers.

    History Brunch: Quilting History: The Lewis and Clark Expedition

    Frontier Army Museum, 100 Reynolds Ave, Fort Leavenworth
    See details

    Light refreshments will be available before a program that traces the story behind a handmade quilt honoring the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the area that would become Kansas and Kansas City. Researched and designed by the late Ruth J. Schultz with fellow members of the Grinter Place Quilters Guild, the quilt hangs in an academic building at Kansas City Kansas Community College and was showcased in Kansas City, Kansas during the expedition’s bicentennial. Presenters Susie Taylor and Diane Pickman will explore its history using documentation Schultz left, including a VHS documentary and personal albums of gathered materials. Both are members of organizations focused on the expedition, including the national Lewis and Clark Trail Alliance and the Missouri-Kansas Riverbend Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail Foundation. They shared these findings at a national convention hosted by their local chapter in Kansas City, Missouri, then presented again at KCKCC with the quilt on view. Although the quilt is on permanent display at KCKCC, this program highlights its distinctive design and historical significance. For those needing post access, visitor passes are virtual and linked to a visitor’s identification, registration cannot be completed more than ten days in advance, text notifications indicate approval or whether a stop at the Visitor Center is required, and the same ID used for registration must be presented at the gate.
