Kelley rocking the keys

One of Lawrence’s favorite singer-songwriters and a good friend of Mass St Music, Kelley Hunt, will be again rocking Liberty Hall this New Year’s Eve, and thankfully like last year, show proceeds will benefit the very deserving ECKAN/Just Food -the major food pantry in east central Kansas, which needs help now more than ever.  Just Food has reported a 20% increase over last year in the number of families and individuals requiring its assistance.  Last year Kelley’s  show provided over $4,000 and many food donations to help cover what traditionally is a break in the flow of money and food donations just after the holidays.

This show will also be the official Kansas City/Lawrence CD release event for Kelley’s latest work “Gravity Loves You” – CLICK BELOW TO READ DETAILS Continue Reading →
