BESS WALLERSTEIN & KELLY MAIN-Show Delivered; In mid-March 2020 live performances came to a halt as COVID-19 swept the country. Through many weeks and months of conversations with artists, it was clear this was going to last longer than anyone hoped. 

Partners and theatre artists Kelly Main and Bess Wallerstein Huff connected to discuss how they could help support their community of performing artists while simultaneously adapting live shows in a safe way for audiences. The idea for Show Delivered came together – if you’re getting your groceries delivered, or celebrating milestones with yard signs, why can’t performances be delivered? Good news, we think they can. 

Show Delivered showcases high quality performances from the artists that shape the culture of our community. We’re encouraging you to log-off and connect, heal, celebrate and be entertained as only a live performance can provide.
Average pricing for shows range from $175 – $425 and up. 

We can customize performances too! Don’t see something you want, let us know – we’re happy to create a show just for you.
Live performances must occur within 25 miles of the Greater Kansas City Metro area. If outside that area, a mileage fee will apply.
It’s like delivery from your favorite restaurant without the heartburn, or calories!

DANNY POWELL is co-founder and President of the Heartland Song Network. He has served on many non-profits and his music past has included past co-owner of the artist management company Tom’s Town Media, Past President of the Kansas City Blues Society and a manager of the Michael Shannon Musician’s Fund. He is a member of the Folk Alliance International, the Americana Music Association and Playing for Change. He is an avid harmonica player and his passion is to discover and hear the next great song.
The Heartland Song Network (“HSN”) is a Kansas 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation launched in March 2020. HSN’s mission is to elevate the art of the song, regardless of genre, through education, collaboration and mentorship.

The idea for the Network was born in January 2020 at the Folk Alliance International Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. Shortly thereafter, a group of like-minded people from a variety of backgrounds began meeting informally to articulate a vision for a sustainable music ecosystem that could reach all levels of musicianship and experience, regardless of genre. HSN Members are afforded unique opportunities in education, collaboration, and performance that promote and support a career in the arts for artists in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. 
In its first year, HSN executed a number of successful fundraising, collaborative songwriting, and industry webinar events. It was selected by Folk Alliance International to curate and present the Kansas City Showcase for Folk Unlocked: Connection, Discovery, Inspiration, February 22nd-25th, 2021.
Mission-Empowering the creation of the song through education, collaboration and mentorship.
