Connection to the theme Home

Home, to me, isn’t just a place. It’s where I learned who I am. I got my start busking on the Plaza, playing for anyone who’d pause and listen, and that’s where Kansas City first felt like home. Bringing an acoustic trio onto the KC Streetcar feels like coming full circle. As it moves through the heart of the city, I want the music to feel warm and welcoming like a shared front porch on wheels, celebrating the roots, the community, and the sense of belonging that connects us all.
