LET’S CONNECT ON INSTA!
I've been to my fair share of concerts, but absolutely nothing could have prepared me for what I witnessed at The Regency Live in Springfield, Missouri, on Oct. 9.
What nobody thought to mention was that I was about to witness my first mosh pit.
And boy, was I in for a treat.
I walked on Ninth Street in downtown Columbia, Mo. to The Blue Note. I was expecting a smaller folk-country show filled with emotional, well-written songs and good live vocals. I got all of that, but I wasn't expecting to be nearly as entertained as I was.
Nashville radio is a cesspool. That’s not to say all the artists in it are bad, but the things it stands for and represents are. It is a homogenous breeding ground for the same cookie-cutter acts singing about trucks, beer and heartache.

Kansas City hasn’t gotten its fair shake from hip-hop in 2026. Baby Keem, A$AP Rocky, and Isaiah Rashad all skipped over the City of Fountains. In contrast, J. Cole made sure KC felt the love when he returned to the T-Mobile Center just two years after his back-to-back shows at the venue, headlining alongside Drake on the “Big As The What?” tour.
