KC Sipps logo by Theodore Rosen Life in KC is pretty delicious. In fact, there is often so much going on that it can be hard to decide where to go and what to try. That’s where I come in. I’ve curated this weekly list of events, openings, deals, and celebrations to keep you in-the-know. Cheers! Something New News Bites:…
One Night Only. // Courtesy Universal Pictures I’ll be the first to admit that the logline for One Night Only is pure rage-bait: “What if sex between unmarried people was illegal except for one day a year?” It sounds like something designed to appeal to supposedly sex-averse Gen Zers, or maybe the product of a fledgling screenwriter who watched The…

An table full of “I Voted in Douglas County” stickers waited for voters at a Eudora polling place on Aug. 4, 2026. Kansans overwhelmingly rejected a constitutional amendment changing how state Supreme Court judges are selected. (Photo by Baya Burgess/Kansas Reflector) They did it again. Kansans supporting abortion rights and public education turned out en masse Tuesday to send a…
The Missouri Capitol Building in Jefferson City on May 12 (Jason Hancock/Missouri Independent) Missourians went to the polls Tuesday, and the results resist a single storyline. Here’s what’s worth noticing. Amendment 5 is the clearest verdict of the night. It lost 83-16. Not close, not regional — a rout. The governor’s top priority, backed by $17.2 million from donors who…
Whiskey Mash Band. // photo courtesy the artist You can find more information about the free Whiskey Mash Band show at the FAI offices here. While its annual conference won’t be back in town until 2028, it’s worth remembering Folk Alliance International is still based in Kansas City and making things happen locally. One of those things is their regular…
Mumford and Sons. // photo by Daniel Fuchs Mumford and Sons with Medium Build Morton Amphitheater Sunday, August 2 Touring in support of their sixth studio album, Prizefighter, Mumford and Sons returned to Kansas City, with this show unmarred by a downpour, as was last year’s Azura concert. Alaskan indie-folk act Medium Build opened, and our photographer Daniel Fuchs was…
Dish & Drink KC logo by Theodore Rosen Whew. Some days don’t leave much room to slow down. Between running errands with my mom and making our way to the polls, the afternoon felt like one long checklist. We needed a quick reset before tackling the rest of the day, so we pulled into Filling Station Coffee in Westport. My…
For Strange Women studio // Photo provided by Jill McKeever Jill McKeever’s ‘perfume organ’—a crescent moon-shaped wooden row of shelves holding scent bottles—is on a worktable in the back of her perfumery, For Strange Women. This is the lab where she meticulously crafts her fragrances, mixing extracts to the thousandth of a gram. She can personally recognize and describe over…
Frame snap from “Casual Stroller” // Provided by David Bennett Kansas City Artist’s Coalition’s new exhibition “Screen//Seen” is showing screen-based artwork through December, with work by digital artists from around the globe in-gallery. KCAC received dozens of applications from artists during their open call, selecting six finalists in video, animation, generative/algorithmic, real-time capture, and net-based applied work, and a variety…
Dissent has risen on the national and local levels for Automatic License Plate Readers, cameras that capture data from passing vehicles, headlined by Flock Safety. ALPR companies boast cases of their technology assisting missing persons cases, recovering stolen vehicles, and theft prevention, but the roughly 1,500 cameras in the KC area have prompted surveillance and privacy concerns from residents. Kansas…
Missouri could have a near-record primary turnout Tuesday as voters decide two major ballot questions and congressional primaries in three districts (Seth Tupper/South Dakota Searchlight) Missouri election officials expect as many as 1.4 million voters will cast ballots by the time polls close Tuesday, continuing the historic trend of high turnout in primary elections featuring major ballot questions. Secretary of…
Courtesy Dinner Article From sound alone, it may as well be your typical dinner party: clinking utensils, whispers of gossip, and someone asking where to find parking—except, here, no one is hosting, and most of the guests have never met before. Humans still crave connection, even with strangers and acquaintances. Dinner parties are a great way to satisfy that craving,…
Art by Teddy Rosen Did you know the Missouri Republican Party remains one of the only state GOP affiliates that features a mention of creationism? Though it remains a part of the 2024 party planks that gave way for President Donald Trump to unsurprisingly win Missouri in the Electoral College, mere mention of creationism at this point in our collective…
Illustrated by Katelyn Betz Anyone else feel like they’re having post-World Cup comedown? I live in Lawrence, and there was so much to do each and every week for the better part of a month and a half; it never really felt like we had that summer dip. You know the one, where everything slows down from the end of…

Our photographer Allison Scavo was there to capture it all. The…
The Black Crowes. // photo by Mike Dotson The Black Crowes with Whiskey Myers and Southall Morton Amphitheater Thursday, July 30 Southern rockers the Black Crowes brought their Southern Hospitality tour to Morton Amphitheater, and the heat and humidity made it feel just like we were down in Atlanta for the night.
