KC music scene alive and well

Contrary to popular belief (ok, maybe just my belief), music is alive and well in Kansas City. The fiance and I went to Jardine's Sunday night to catch the very first performance from the Goombahles, a band put together by KC fixture Todd Wilkinson. The band also features on keys John Brewer, a fellow firefighter who earned his master's degree in music at the University of New Orleans. They reminded me a lot of one of my favorite bands, Robert Walter's 20th Congress. I had forgotten how much I like Jardine's and had no idea that this level of talent was present in KC. It's a pleasant surprise.
