Welcome to the July issue of The Pitch!
As we continue to meander through peak summer heat, Kansas Citians are sweating it out at different venues around town, which makes it appropriate for our staff to try to hit all of the check marks on the local music scene. Taking the lively-colored cover is a deep dive with Hembree on how they look forward to Better Days. Following along with the cover story, we take a look at an up-and-coming dive bar/club mashup, fine-tuned food options, a new form of sound, The Greeting Committee's ups and downs, Eboni Fondren bringing her world-class talents home, a different way of conducting covers, and The Shining Opera's official cast recording. Along with those stellar stories, we look into how melodies can turn you on and how Northeast Arts KC is helping paint a brighter picture. Grab a vinyl, drop the needle, and start flipping.
Each issue wouldn't be complete without our calendar of events, Keep Them Coming and KC Cares columns, and staple food content like Eat This Now.
