...more news coming soon...





October, 2009


Halloween Party! Please join us at 12 Baltimore Cafe at 12th and Baltimore in Downtown KCMO for this year's Halloween Party. Costumes are optional but, go ahead, knock yourself out! We play from 9:00 to 12:00 and the bar stays open late. Great food and drinks! There's a parking garage just yards away on Baltimore, too. The 12 Baltimore Cafe is right on the corner and connected to the lobby of the historic Hotel Phillips. A good time is guaranteed for all. Don't miss it!!





Another UPDATE


We've just been informed that we are now included in the monthly rotation at 12 Baltimore Cafe in Downtown KCMO. Please check our DATES page for upcoming shows (the next one will be September 19th). It's a great room with fantastic acoustics - we're really happy to be able to perform there. These shows will all be on Saturday nights so we really hope you can plan to be there!





August, 2009 UPDATE


Well... we're sorry to say that the Oak Bar at the Intercontinental Hotel has had another change in management and they have decided to "restructure" their weeknight entertainment (again). This time they've decided to try "sleepy, quiet, instrumental music", so we're out of a job for the time being. We really enjoyed playing there - on Tuesday nights last year, and Wednesdays this year - we hope this experiment will be over soon and we will be able to come back. Without the Oak Bar on our calendar, we have no dates scheduled in September and, at this point, with such short notice, and with the fact that most venues are booked several months in advance, we will probably have a hard time finding much of anything to take the place of these lost dates... but we're trying! In the meantime, we're going to try to concentrate on finishing the CD that so many of you have asked about. Please check our DATES page frequently as things are bound to change in the next few weeks. Thanks to all of you for your continued support. We hope to see you again real soon!





August, 2009


What an unusal Summer this has been in KC! We've had some beautiful weather - some great evenings out on the patio at the Intercontinental Hotel enjoying the breeze and our friends who continue to come out on Wednesday nights. We hope you'll continue to make it a regular stop on your "hump day". We've been really busy and playing at new venues. One of our favorite new rooms is the 12 Baltimore Cafe - a great location with wonderful acoustics. We're currently working out new dates at 12 Baltimore and hope to be adding them to our calendar very soon - so please check our DATES page often. Also, we've got several dates coming up at Waxy O'Shea's Irish Pub between now and the end of the year - so watch for those as well. But, in the meantime, we're still at the Oak Bar every Wednesday (with one exception: due to a booking conflict, we will be doing Thursday, August 27th, instead of Wednesday, August 26th - but then we'll be back to Wednesday nights in September) - again, please check our DATES page often. Thanks again for your continued support, and for supporting live music in Kansas City. We'll see you soon!





May, 2009


...we're baaaaaack! Once again, please check our DATES page because we've added every Wednesday night at the Oak Bar in the Intercontinental Hotel on the Plaza starting on May 13th as well as one Tuesday a month at the Frontier Steakhouse in West Kansas City. Please come on out to the Oak Bar and break up your work-week - and watch for those Tuesday nights out on the patio at the Frontier Steakhouse - we hope to see you there!





April, 2009


Thanks to everyone who came out to Chaz on the Plaza (Raphael Hotel) - what a blast! Once again, please check our DATES page because we've added several more shows in April and May. Also, we've added a new graphic calendar to the page which makes it much easier to see at-a-glance when and where we'll be playing. Please check back often - we're working to fill up our calendar for this Spring and Summer. Plus, we've added another tune to our MUSIC page - now there's 7 songs for you to listen to. We hope you enjoy them - and come on out to the Raphael - we hope to see you there!





March, 2009


Wow! It was almost 80 degrees today - after being frigid and snowing just a few days ago. I guess that's Kansas City for you! Once again, please check out our DATES page as we've been added to the line up of live music at O'Dowd's Little Dublin (on the Plaza) for the St. Patrick's Day party - best party in town!! Should be a blast (we're workin' on our Irish accents). It's been a busy month, but we'll have some more music to add to our MUSIC page very soon, so please continue to check back often. Thanks again for your emails and your support - hope to see you this month at O'Dowd's and again at the Raphael.





February, 2009


Just a quick note to tell you to check our DATES page for information about new shows that have been added at Chaz on the Plaza (in the Raphael Hotel) for March and April. We hope to see you there!





January, 2009


Happy 2009! Thanks for all the emails and well-wishes from all of you - we've been busy in the studio and have posted some new tunes on our Music page. Click here to listen and be sure to tell us what you think - and keep checking back for news about when and where we'll be playing next. Hope to see you all again real soon!





December, 2008


December is upon us - The Plaza Lights are shining and the Holidays are in full-swing. Please plan to stop by The Oak Lounge this Tuesday evening, December 2, to help us get the season off to a great start. There's a giant Christmas tree (must be 12 to 15 feet tall) on the hotel terrace overlooking the Plaza Lights. It's all really beautiful and guaranteed to put you In The Spirit - only two dates left in 2008 - December 2 & 9 - Please plan to join us!





November, 2008


November... there's been so much going on - the election is over and maybe things will start to settle down a little bit... but no - here come The Holidays! We wanted to let you know that we're still at The Oak Lounge every Tuesday and to be sure to thank all you guys for continuing to stop by. The lighting of the Plaza Lights is coming up and it will be a great place to congregate over the holiday season. Also, in other news, Janet landed a gig with Shooting Star as their new violinist/vocalist, so be sure to catch them out as soon as you can. We hope to see you soon!





August, 2008


It's the end of August - Summer is over and we're heading into Fall again. Hard to believe, huh? This Summer at The Intercontinental Hotel has been great. We've met a lot of interesting people and made many new friends - and we just got some good news... our contract has been extended so we hope to continue to see you on Tuesday nights at The Oak Lounge. It's gonna be great to have the Plaza Lights as our backdrop as The Holidays approach. In other news, we'll be playing for the Grand Opening of the new football/soccer stadium on the campus of University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, KS, on Saturday, September 20. It's their first home game in their new facility and should be a lot of fun. It's a beautiful campus - go to our DATES page for a link to their website. Once again, thank you all for your continued support - we hope to see you again soon!





June, 2008


June?... is it really June?? Time flies... we've been having a lot of fun at the Intercontinental Hotel and have been doing a couple of private parties, too - once again, thank you ALL for your contunued support. The news is that we've been really lucky to have Rick Bacus filling in for John on a few dates at The Hotel this summer - it's been great because Rick is such a great player and we've been able to throw in some new material - which is always fun! Our next date with Rick will be June 17th. Also, we'll be playing at the big Wheeler Audio party next month, so we're really looking forward to that as well. Please plan to stop by The Hotel some of these Tuesdays this Summer... oh, and we just found out that they have Happy Hour drink prices until 9:00, too! Who knew?? So plan to get there early! Hope to see you soon.





March, 2008


Thanks to everyone for your continued support! The date at the Oak Lounge at the Intercontinental Hotel on the Plaza was a lot fun - thanks to everyone who came out.

...this just in... we will be playing at the Oak Lounge regularly - every Tuesday from 8:00 to 11:30 pm - starting on April 1st. Check our 'dates' page for more information and please remember to stop by on Tuesday nights!





February, 2008


Wanted to let you all know that we've posted some new photos taken by excellent photographer Dale Monaghen during the Danny Cox Family Benefit concert. Please click the link and take a look. We've also posted a mailing address for those of you who might want to contribute to the Cox Family Fund. Also, we've got some new shows booked on our DATES page - and we hope to see you out there!





January, 2008


Happy New Year! Thank you all for your support! 2008 is starting out with a bang for us - thanks to you! We've got another date at Harry's Country Club and are looking forward to returning to Ari's Greek Restaurant at the end of the month. Also wanted to be sure you are aware of the Danny Cox Family Benefit (they lost their home in a fire). We've been invited to play at the benefit show on Sunday, January 20th. The concert will feature Brewer & Shipley, not to mention The Elders and Walkenhorst & Porter. Rumor has it that Danny Cox will perform as well. It's all for a very good cause, so please check our DATES page for more information. Thanks again for checking our web site and for supporting live music in Kansas City. We hope to see you 'out there' really soon!





December, 2007


Just a quick note to let you know, if you haven't found out already, that we've added some songs to our Music page - please give them a listen and let us know what you think! Also, check our Dates page for newly added upcoming shows. We hope to be adding more in the next few weeks, so Stay Tuned. We hope everybody has a FUN and safe New Year!!!





November, 2007


The leaves are turning (and falling) and it's a real time of change here in the Midwest. The dates at Ari's Restaurant have been great and we really hope you've been able to make it to one or two of them. We have two more bookings there this year - Thursday, November 15th, and Thursday, December 6th - and we really hope to see you there (please check our Dates page for information about Ari's). In the meantime, we've been busy recording and with everybody's various projects. Very soon, you'll have the option of listening to some songs on the web site rather than just looking at our song list - so stay tuned for that. :) This is a great time of year, and as we head into Fall, I hope we can all find time to enjoy this incredible weather while it lasts! And remember... one week before Thanksgiving we'll be back at Ari's. It'd be a great pre-holiday get together! 2008 is just around the corner and we're excited about all the possibilities - musical and otherwise!





September, 2007


Rock Paper Scissors is pleased to announce that we will be appearing at Ari's Greek Restaurant every 3 weeks for the next 3 months - we figured, hey... there's 3 of us, so it all works out very nicely all the way around - 3x3x3. Check our "dates" page for more information. Come on out!!
