At 11:00 we talk with acclaimed singer songwriter, Christena Graves who grew up in western Michigan, and after leaving to attend college in Missouri, she met her husband Brandon and joined the band Waterdeep as the keyboard player. After touring for several years, she stepped away from the band to raise their children. Once the kids were old enough, Christena and Brandon decided to form a new project. In mid 2020 Greg Lafollette, a long time musical friend, moved back to Kansas City from Nashville where he had built a successful career as an artist and producer. Greg offered his help to record a collections of songs that have become her album, Finding My Footing, her first full length solo album since 1996 and her first as a band leader. Christena Graves plays IN THE ROUND with Calvin Arsenia, Julia Othmer, and Kirstie Lynn at The Bauer, 115 West 18th Street, in KCMO’s West Crossroads, Thursday, October 17, at 7:00pm.
