Dub focuses on Old-School R & B, Funky Jazz, Latin, and Gospel music from the 60s and 70s and how different genres can fit together nicely. He heavily researches the music and artists and tells stories from that research and from his experiences working with artists and for record labels for many years.

The Forcefields is a cosmosonic collaboration between Julia Othmer and James T Lundie. The Forcefields made their performance debut with the presentation TRANSMISSION for the Charlotte Street Foundation series, In(SITE). Recently The Forcefields have been touring around the United Kingdom. The Forcefields will be performing LIVE in Kansas City on July 18 at The Warwick Theatre.

At 11:30 Mark welcomes members of Sara Bellun and the Brainwaves, a seven-piece dance punk band based in Kansas City, Missouri. Their music combines danceable rhythms, rockin’ guitar riffs, and upbeat melodies paired with the uncommon instrumentation of viola, keytar, and foley art. The band’s inception began in theatre school where lead vocalist Sara Bellum first met guitarist MC Burnie Beta, sound designer Theo Theta, and vocalist/keytarist Zesty Zeta. We will feature the band’s new single “Manic Pixie Dream Girl.”
