IT'S ALWAYS A BLESSING TO BE IN A POSITION TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!

KNOWING ABOUT THE MILLIONS IN FUNDING RECENTLY BEING CUT FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SYSTEM, THE Kansas City Power & Light District & MYSELF DECIDED TO COMBINE FORCES TO GIVE BACK TO THE Kansas City Public Schools Education Foundation FOR 816Day THIS YEAR!!! WE ACTUALLY USED OUR FOOD TRUCK VENDOR FEES WHICH WERE MATCHED BY THE P&L TO AMOUNT TO THE $5,000.

IT AIN'T MUCH, BUT EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS!!!

🎷 816 Day Artist Spotlight 🎶

Kansas City, the rhythm is rising — 816 Day is almost here, and we’re celebrating the soul of the city through the voices and sounds that define it. This year’s lineup is all about the jazz — smooth, bold, and unapologetically KC.

🔥 From soulful jazz singers who pour emotion into every lyric to musicians laying down grooves that echo through the streets, each artist brings a unique flavor to the 816. These aren’t just performances — they’re living, breathing expressions of our city’s legacy and future.

Next up, .lane_

📍Follow along, share the love, and let’s show up for the creatives who make KC swing. This is more than music — it’s movement, it’s culture, it’s 816.
