Jessica Paige brings the roots of her rural Kansas childhood to life with heartfelt, folky lyricism contrasted by her huge voice and personality.

A three-time semi-finalist on American Idol, twice voted “Best Vocalist” in Kansas City, TEDxKC Artist, Folk Alliance International Showcase Artist, featured vocalist with the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra, Jessica has become one of Kansas City’s most respected musicians and band leaders. As an advocate and mentor of girls and women entering the music profession, and a private instructor in voice and guitar, she is equally passionate about lifting other aspiring musicians. Jessica has over a thousand performances, touring, and with residencies across the country and internationally. Whether she is serenading a small listening room with just her guitar or rocking a massive stage with an impressive line-up of musicians, she will draw you in and blow you away with her passion and dedication to the craft, being an ever-growing musician.
Lucas Parker’s music possesses the harmonically rich sensibilities and sleek precision of the jazz-rock pioneers of the '70s and early '80s, while also leaning into the reckless abandon of the deep tradition of improvisational rock music. At the center is Lucas’ high-octane but soulful guitar playing, which can be described as putting ingredients from Jeff Beck, Pat Metheny, and David Gilmour in a blender and hitting shred.
Lucas has appeared on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert with Tech N9ne, and has performed on stage with Joe Bonamassa, Warren Haynes, Stanley Sheldon (Frampton Comes Alive), Andy Frasco and countless others. Lucas Parker’s debut LP "0 to 60" is streaming everywhere now!
