Kansas City, Missouri, is a major Midwest hub of creativity and music. The tradition started with jazz when musicians like Count Basie, Big Joe Turner, and Charlie Parker graced the stages in the historic 18th & Vine neighborhood. Named after Parker’s iconic song, “Crazeology” is a podcast dedicated to modern-day musicians that live and play in the “Paris of the Plains.” Listen to interviews with artists about their music and lives with full-length songs throughout each episode.
Madisen and Ruth Ward of “Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear” started long before the child of the mother-son duo was born. During her career as a solo artist, Ruth Ward began inviting her son Madisen on stage to join her live performances in coffee shops in the Kansas City Metro. The band has gone on to play with greats like B.B. King and Old Crow Medicine Show and gained national attention for their hits like “Silent Movies” and “Yellow Taxi.” Their second album, “The Radio Winners,” shows the depth and talent of the band and their unique take on folk music.
