ABOUT KELLY: Memphis-raised singer-songwriter Kelly Hunt paints stories as old and offbeat as her Depression-era tenor banjo, reimagining traditions of folk, blues & old-time music in a timeless style that hovers beyond the constraints of genre à la Anaïs Mitchell & Gillian Welch. Hunt’s debut album, EVEN THE SPARROW, was released in May 2019 and named as a finalist for the International Folk Music Awards “Album of the Year.” Her sophomore album, OZARK SYMPHONY, was recorded with Grammy-winning musician & producer Dirk Powell and released on Compass Records in October 2023. Kelly has toured nationally and internationally since 2018 and has opened for the likes of Josh Ritter, Pokey LaFarge, Sarah Harmer, John McCutheon, and The Gibson Brothers. 

ABOUT BETH: Recently ending a twenty-year career as a choral director in public schools, Beth Watts Nelson can now be found pursuing her muse in various projects throughout the Kansas City area. Her newest group, Little Miss Dynamite, combining the acoustic forces of some of KC’s finest musicians (Betse Ellis, Brandon Day, and Caleb Gardner) released its debut album, “Grow Up” in May 2024.  Beth also sings and plays the clawhammer banjo in the fiery old time string band, Catgut, and is a founding member of the Konza Swamp Band, a long-standing pillar of the local Bluegrass scene.  Now venturing out as a solo/duo performer, she performs original songs that sound as if they had been unearthed with the patina of decades in the songbook of Americana.  With a voice that cuts straight to your soul, and playing a vintage Martin guitar or clawhammer banjo, she will evoke smiles and tears – often at the same time.

Free show, 21+

Kansas City, MO | In the Round KC w/ Barnaby Bright & Kasey Rausch

The second installment of In The Round KC, featuring Barnaby Bright, Kelly Hunt, Kasey Rauch, and another songwriter to be announced soon!

More info about In The Round KC:

In the Round KC is a simple concept at face value: a small group of local singer-songwriters performing original tunes in a listener-friendly room.

We all know that Kansas City is not at a loss for live music played by world-class talent on a nightly basis. So then, what’s the big deal?

In the Round KC is all about cultivating a community of collaboration. We will draw seasoned, professional singer-songwriters in our area from multiple genres and give them a platform to both share their unique gifts and make new friends, both music fans and other songwriters alike. We want to provide a space where their talents are valued and appreciated by neighbors in the community.

At each of the shows, songwriters will be seated in the round (hence the name) facing one another, as if sitting around a table. This invites collaboration and intimacy, two key ingredients in a successful writer’s round. In the Round KC events are always listener centric, in both support and atmosphere, attempting to cultivate the ideal environment for the vulnerability that comes with storytelling through song.

If you’re on the hunt for another loud bar or club gig, this isn’t it. If you’re looking to have groovy jazz standards as the soundtrack for your steak, you’re in the wrong place.

Launched in June 2024, In the Round KC currently has one more scheduled songwriter showcase this year on October 17.
