Songstress Katie Gilchrist revives her weekly cover-song chill session tonight

It’s not a new concept to the theater crowd of Kansas City: last year Katie Gilchrist hosted a weekly unwind session every Thursday at One80 that included friends getting together, jamming through some cover songs, catching up on the week, and throwing back some cocktails. However, when her partner at the time, MFA student Nick Gehlfuss, moved to New York and One80 changed its concept to Beer Kitchen, the weekly chill session fizzled out. Luckily, with the help of friend and veteran local rocker Vi Tran, as well as Sean Hogge and Madison DeCamp on the violin, Gilchrist has revived the weekly affair, and it’s now taking place every Wednesday at Czar Bar.
