Results are In

We all experienced another successful Heartland Unplugged last Friday night. We had approximately 25 musicians and 20 people in the audience present. Once again everyone seemed to enjoy the food: brats, cheeseburgers, or hotdogs w/chips and a drink for just a $2 donation. The fresh baked chocolate chip cookies were a hit again. Several people asked for the recipe for the homemade salsa that was made by one of the ladies from the church. Steve Gouge entertained the audience with his unique style of music. There were two jam rooms going on during the night. The musicians must have enjoyed themselves because a few of them stayed after closing time (10pm) and kept playing while the staff cleaned up. Heartland Unplugged seems to be really taking off and we’re all hoping for an even larger turnout for the next one on the fourth Friday in April.

Next HU is this Friday – March 24th

The fourth Friday is here at last and we’re making preparations to have a great Heartland Unplugged. If you drive by the corner of Bannister and James A. Reed in South Kansas City you will see our new banners. They look great. We’re hoping for a record turnout and with the help of the new banners, we should see more people from the surrounding community. I guess it’s time to pull out that old guitar from the closet and dust it off. You know you have to start back on it someday and you’ve put it off long enough. See you there. If you need to contact us, our email is heartlandunplugged@hotmail.com.
