Kansa-lyst: Interview with Phil Ehart, Co-founder & Drummer for Kansas

High Plains Public Radio | By Jenny Inzerillo
Published October 17, 2017 at 9:00 AM CDT

Don't miss my interview with co-founder and drummer for Kansas, Phil Ehart. We talk about touring, keeping a the music fresh after 40+ years, and he attempts to answer a question I've had for years: "What the heck IS 'prog rock?'" [Spoiler alert: He's not quite sure.]

This grown-up garage band from Topeka celebrates 40 years of their hit album Leftoverture with a US tour. They'll play Dodge City, KS on Friday, October 20th at United Wireless Arena. 

Want to hear 18 minutes of unedited conversation between Phil and Jenny? Okay then.
