Sounds of the City
Sounds of the City at Uptown Theater on Friday, April 11, 2025.
"Sounds of the City" is the untold story of one of the most influential cities in the history of music – Kansas City. From its vibrant jazz history in the 1920s, onto the '60s-'70s folk scene, through the ‘90s "Kansas City Sound," hip-hop roots and into today, the feature-length film takes us through the city’s role as a force in modern music.
