The band formed while in the service of food and beverage. Karalyne, a certified sommelier from Kansas City, crossed paths with Vinny, an award-winning bartender from Boston, while they were working and making music together for fun. They were soon joined by their co-worker Nikki from Los Angeles, Derek from Boston, and Peyton, all fellow bartenders. Since their inception, Flight Attendant has released standout singles like “Man of Chaos” and “Therapy Couch,” which has received significant radio play. They’ve played sold-out shows from Austin to Nashville to Munich Germany, and at major festivals including SXSW, Boulevardia, Tomato Arts Fest, and the 20th Annual Crossroads Music Fest. Glide Magazine says that lead singer Karalyne, “Commands your attention like Freddie Mercury working the crowd in an arena.” Their eagerly awaited sophomore album, Under The Powerlines, produced by Swedish collaborator Anders Flemming, will be released on November 15. 2024. Flight Attendant are headlining a Fall US Tour, and a European Spring Tour. More info at: www.flightattendantband.com

At 11:30 we welcome Kate Hall, General Manager, and Destiny Atkinson, Assistant Manager of Afterword Tavern and Shelves open Tuesdays through Saturdays at 1834 Grand Boulevard, KCMO. Afterword Tavern & Shelves write: “A good book has the remarkable ability to connect friends over midnight discussions, or to a garrulous passenger on the streetcar who loves the same writer. Simple paper pages can inspire a visit to a city or reconnect someone to a time and place of their past. Books can spark an idea or incite an argument and provide a tranquil escape from the chaotic. Beer, wine, spirits, and food share this quality. Rather than leave one of ’em out we decided to combine their collective powers under a single roof. Thus, Afterword Tavern & Shelves was born. While it may be libations and books we’re selling on paper, at a philosophical level we are peddling discovery and the city in which we live. We invite you to walk through our door, and when you depart we hope that you do so having discovered something stirringly novel. Afterword Tavern & Shelves is hosting an Open Mic Night Monday, November 11, 2024 6:30 to 8:30pm. For more information you can visit: 2www.afterwordkc.com
