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.
