Regional, national bands rock Kansas City festival
By Tom Winter
Kansan staff writer
The 13th annual Kansas City Spirit Fest kicks off at 6 p.m. today and will run until 11:30 p.m. Sunday. Each night of the festival there will be a different headlining act on the main stage. The Australian band INXS will perform at 9:30 tonight. They will be promoting their new album "Elegantly Wasted".
Blues legend B.B. King will be headlining at 9:45 tomorrow night. It will be King's fourth visit to the Spirit Fest.
The main stage also will feature other nationally popular acts tomorrow evening. A couple of those bands will be Magic Dick Bluestime featuring Jay Geils at 6:15, and The Robert Cray Band at 8:45.
On Sunday night, Bob Dylan will play the main stage at 9:30. This is Dylan's second trip to the Spirit Fest. BR5-49 will open for him at 8 p.m.
Kelly Mason, Overland Park sophomore, said she planned to go to Spirit Fest Sunday to see
Bob Dylan.
"I've never been able to see him before," she said. "I'm afraid he might be kind of ate up or strung out."
Aside from the main stage, there will be an abundance of music on 10 other stages to highlight acts from the Kansas City area. Stages will be set up for music including country, blues, jazz, gospel, folk and funk.
A reggae stage will feature Lawrence favorite Common Ground at 9:30 tomorrow night. Also, for the fourth consecutive year, KLZR will sponsor a New Rock stage showcasing regional acts such as Danger Bob, the Urge, Kill Creek, Frogpond and TV 50.
Roger Formanek, program director at KLZR, said he expected good crowds this year because of the caliber of the acts they have lined up.
Because of parking problems in previous years, the organizers of Spirit Fest have arranged a busing service which will run from the Country Club Plaza down Main Street to Grand
