We are a bunch of dads in a band.
“I’m Isaac with Golden Groves. We’re a local Kansas City band that has been around for about 2 years. We have recorded 2 EP’s. The first EP was more of a highlight of the things that we thought we could do genre wise. The second EP is more of “this is what we love to have fun with each other.” We are a bunch of dads. A bunch of working guys that try to get together every other week and have a great time with each other. The music we write is spirited, joyful and hopefully the

I tear up
"My first friend was Laughing Ted. At one point, far earlier than my memory reaches, he was probably a vibrant shade of blue/green and very soft. I'm sure my parents must have bought him for me when I was a year or two old, but my earliest memory of him is when I was five or six.

We’ve done a craft show together here in Kansas City. She comes to all of my shows. My aunt, is also an entrepreneur. She has her own business called Natural Life. She makes a lot of fun keepsakes and art as well. We are just a family of artists who like to crafts and share th

Mayor Sly James

The KC Star had a reporter out there that was asking a bunch of us, (we were kids at the time) what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him I thought it would be fun to be Mayor of Kansas City. So, that was probably the first time. I thought about doing it before Mayor Barnes second term. I decided it was

Farmer Ted
“I’m out here in the sunflower fields. They just started blooming about 3 days ago. About the 27th they started blooming. Full bloom will be in another couple of days. My wife stated they would bloom on the 31st two months ago and she wasn’t too far off. I was a few days off. We are getting a few people out right now. We are going to be probably busy this Labor Day weekend. It’s better to come in the early mornings if you can. It is not near as busy. We will have 5 different
