At 11:30 Kansas City based singer/songwriter Una Walkenhorst joins us to play a few songs live in our 90.1 FM Studios and talk with us about Songs For Justice: A Benefit for the Midwest Innocence Project, Monday, August 20, at 7:00 PM at recordBar, 1520 Grand, KCMO, with Instant Karma, and Blue False Indigo. Following the release of her debut album “Scars” in 2014, Una Walkenhorst immediately had “new fans . . . coming out of the proverbial woodwork” (AXS). Loading up her 97 Honda Civic, Una then spent a year traveling across North America promoting her music and connecting with listeners one-on-one. Gilded Palace Radio wrote that Una’s heartfelt lyrics “will stop you in your tracks (at once beautiful and chilling)”. Una has a new album, recorded with her father, (Bob Walkenhorst of The Rainmakers) called, For Tomorrow, that will be released on October 12. Bob & Una Walkenhorst play Rural Grit Happy Hour on August 13, at The Brick. More information at: https://unawalkenhorst.bandcamp.com
