The Gibbs Road Community Farm sits on two acres in Kansas City, Kansas, growing food, farmers and community. It's the home of Cultivate Kansas City (formerly known as the Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture.) Each year the farmers harvest some 25,000 pounds of certified organic produce for market and CSA. Come see how tomatoes grown in the high tunnel out-perform the field tomatoes. Check out the farm's no-till beds, raised beds and traditional tilled beds. Ask to see the non-stop production plan. Talk with an apprentice and find out why it's never quiet at this farm...the interstate highway at its western border is only half the story at this bustling center for urban food production!

American Rock and Roll with a Little Country and a Little Blues

We are a two guitar, bass, vocal, & drum band that have played together in a musical co-op for about 30 years... (In addition, we can add harmonica, accordion, keyboard, trombone and a second percussionist as the need occurs.) We play distinctive shows, about 1 to 4 gigs a month, some for pay and some for free (charitable causes, Good Samaritan basis).

We feel our music and our shows create a fun, jamming, open, vibrant atmosphere that makes the band part of the event (rather than dominating the event) and thus, allows the event to breath.

We supply all sound reinforcement equipment. We can even supply a power generator if needed.

All members of the band are knowledgeable and dedicated musicians, who share a love for a diversity of musical styles and the honesty of live performance. This makes for a nice group of musicians who really want to play live shows. This means a fun event that centers on the occasion rather than the band.

WE use straightforward song arrangements that pivot on improvising moments, dynamics, soloing, and jamming...... some call this style of music AMERICANA.

Our outdoor audiences encompass a wide range of people, from strollers and browsers, to people audio taping, to lawn chair and blanket fans. We tend to draw people who are receptive to many styles of music.

Ages in the band group range from 16 to 75 years old...day jobs include a teacher, an auto mechanic, a cable guy, a GPS scientist, an online college course developer, a recording studio tech, an electrician, a pizza chief, a cop, an engineering student, a Vietnam Vet, a retired gas station attendant, and a music student.
