Scott Hrabko and Lauren Krum on the Local Showcase!

Join Host Diana Linn of The Tasty Brew Music Radio Show for a musical conversation on the Local Showcase with Kansas City’s own Scott Hrabko, bandleader of Scott Hrabko and The Rabbits and Lauren Krum, vocalist for Kansas City’s The Grisly Hand, Fool’s Gold Country Revue and others. The show will be live in the studio and streaming at kkfi.org and online with the TuneIn App.

KC’s own Scott Hrabko is a singer/songwriter who can trace his roots back to his post-Kansas City Art Institute days in the fertile crescent of the local indie rock scene of the late ’80s, with his first chords on guitar (G, C and D) and — shortly thereafter — his first bands, The Andersons and The Splinters. After years of drifting in relative obscurity, from his old hometown, St. Louis, to Chicago and then Austin, Hrabko resettled in KC in 1997 to raise his family. It took him long enough, but he finally released his debut solo album, Gone Places in November, 2013 — a set of wickedly funny and poignant songs of love and loss, scattered across the haunted American landscape. Hot on the heels of that release came Biscuits & Gravity in January, 2015, recorded with the first incarnation of The Rabbits.  Scott’s new CD “Summer” will be released in June 2017.

Lauren Krum was born and raised in Kansas City, MO, took piano starting at the age of 3 from Juan Francisco La Manna and sang in the children’s choir at Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral. She attended St. Teresa’s Academy where she sang in choir and theater productions. She has lived in Lawrence, KS and Chicago, IL and now resides in Kansas City, MO. She went to school at Columbia College in Chicago for vocal performance. In January of 2009 her band, The Grisly Hand, played their first show. They released their debut EP, “Safe House” in November of 2010, a 7″ titled “Western Ave.” in February of 2012, “Country Singles” in 2014 and most recently, 2015’s “Flesh & Gold”.
