Birdsall Sings Again

Last fall, KC jazz ingenue Megan Birdsall disappeared from the scene. Her break from music wasn’t voluntary. Birdsall’s career – and her life – were in jeopardy due to an arthritic bone condition that was eroding her jaw and partially blocking her windpipe. She needed a very expensive surgery in order to keep on singing. I wrote about Birdsall’s woes in an October 11 Buckle Bunny column.

According to an e-mail I received from Birdsall’s publicist, the surgery was a success. Hooray! The little jazz bird has a comeback concert booked at Jardine’s on April 30. Birdsall’s slated to sing from 7:30 to 11:30 and Jardine’s will offer free snacks for everyone.
