The next showcase is Thursday, May 25, at 8:00 PM, featuring comedy, performance art, storytelling from Moe A. Barria, Laura Fred Michael, and Heath Poland. Sarah Beth Mundy’s writing is a blend of the intimate and the confessional. She is most known for the two years she devoted to KC’s Dear Diary series, where she performed for audiences her most cringe-inducing teenage diaries. Sarah Beth has also given spoken-word performance across multimedia collaborations, including the 2015 Art Sounds series event “As I See You,” and a multi-artist album currently in production titled “Muses and Mavericks,” curated by Kansas City musician Mark Lauer. Sarah Beth is a part-time instructor in the English department at UMKC, where she received her M.A. in English Literature in 2014.

At 11:00 AM, members of the band Lovergurl, Stephanie Bankston, Brook Worlledge, and Heather Andrews, join us live in our 90.1 FM Studios to share music from their debut EP recording, “The President is A Sex Offender.” Lovergurl is a synth pop band from KC. They have a wide variety of influences including hip hop, punk and dance. Think Sleater Kinney meets Beach House. Experimental in sound, exigent in message. The band asks their fans to “Come dance to dismantle the patriarchy.” Lovergurl will play a special EP release show, Friday, May 19, at 8:00 PM at recordBar, 1520 Grand, with The Bad Ideas and La Guerre.
