Brody is one of the most talented musicians to ever come out of Kansas. He's been burning a trail through the country with his insane harmonica talents since picking up the instrument at age 7. From an appearance on The Tonight Show with Joy Leno (at age 10) to jamming with B.B. King, Brody has been leaving his mark on Kansas City Blues.
PERCIVAL
Fresh off the recording of their new EP Indian Summer, Percival has been playing shows around Kansas City trying to gain fans with their alt-country sound.

GO DAY ON THE HILL
I'm looking for some good music, preferably that I can listen to outdoors and enjoy our fine (hopefully rain-free) weather. I want to eat, perhaps jump on an inflatable structure. And I want to do this all for free. What? SUA's Day On the Hill music festival is this Saturday? Oh, thank you, demi-gods of student activities. Thank you
for booking Spoon, Ghosty, The Belles, Kelpie, Superargo and Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. The event goes from 2 to 8 p.m. on the Lied Center lawn.

WATCH THE MIRACLE WORKER
One of the greatest teaching stories of all time, The Miracle Worker is the moving story of how near-blind Anne Sullivan led Helen Keller out of her deaf-and-blind prison. William Gibson's play was on Broadway in the late 50s and was made into the stunning 1962 classic film.See it this weekend at Lawrence Community Theater.
