Hosted by Jody Rogers, Out On A Limb KC takes you inside Kansas City's visual art scene for honest conversations with working artists. It’s real talk about making work, showing work, and sometimes, barely surviving the process. Plus local music spotlights and a look at what's happening around town. Just remember, when you're out on a limb — Don't. Look. Down.
Episode 4 of Out On A Limb KC has gag cartoons, chamber pop, and a little St. Joe history. Painter John Hayes talks about going from gag cartoons to big mixed-media canvases, and about his sold pieces at BLVD Tavern. Then Jesse Kates of The Sexy Accident talks about the band’s new acoustic vinyl, Before We Invented the Moon, and the story behind the band name. Rounding out the episode: Danny Phillips sits down with former frontman of The Souveneers, Jared Harden, to talk about the St. Joe music scene and his work with the city’s museums. Plus music from Shotgun Jenny, Scroat Belly, The Sexy Accident, Super G, Nuclear Banana and The Souveneers.
