Established in early 2014\, Chemical Mass hit the mid Missouri music scene and released a 4 track demo. Featured songs such as “Denial” and “Nibiru” gave an early indication to their chosen direction. Some describe it as saturated with “Tool” and “Deftones” like influences. 2015 brought around their first digital release\, a single titled “Beyond What You Know” which can be seen as a study of one’s self and the basic human instinct of conformity. A second release in 2016\, titled “Secrets and Lies”\, was brought on by an even more dynamic approach to their song writing where the fabric of our society and social structure is brought into question. Each original track is packed with thought provoking lyrics that are vocally carried over with driven conviction. The guitar work is a display of generously dynamic riffs\, grooving melodies\, and hard rocking accents. The alluring bass lines and skillful drum patterns form a rhythm section that calls to you like a siren in the night. Follow the sound and let us share the vision. \nSteve Walters – VocalsTom Troesser – GuitarBrad Toebben – BassJim Perkins – GuitarLucas Schroer – Drums \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \nCHEMICALMASS\n \n FACEBOOK\n \n \n WEBSITE\n \n \n\n\n Minors allowed with parent/guardian.\n \n\n Check out our bottom up tap beer\n \n\n Bringing quality live music to town in a clean safe environment\n \n\n \n \nHard-Rock/Post-Hardcore Band from Columbia\, MO \n \n \nKOTONA\n \n FACEBOOK\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nUPON\nETERNITY\n \n FACEBOOK\n \n \n“Keepin’ It Live Since 2009”\n\n 10 events found.\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n Events Search and Views Navigation \n \n \n \n\n Search\n \n\n \n \n Enter Keyword.

John played harp and sang in local bands\, often opening the show for nationally touring blues acts and quickly caught the ear of established blues musicians. It didn’t take long before he was releasing his own recordings\, “The Jack Of Harps” (2002) and “Come And Get It” (2004)\, featuring Junior Watson\, and performing in Junior Watson’s band. \nJohn relocated to San Francisco in 2004\, where he had the bitter-sweet good fortune to undertake a two-year stint with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets\, filling in for the ailing Sam Myers. Németh immersed himself in the deep musical waters of the Bay area\, absorbing more of the soul and funk grooves of what he calls “the early East Bay Grease sound” of San Francisco and Oakland bands. \nJohn’s talents did not go unnoticed and he soon signed a recording contract with Blind Pig Records. His national debut for that label\, “Magic Touch” (2007)\, produced by Anson Funderburgh and featuring Junior Watson on guitar\, received an ecstatic response from fans and the media\, and he was hailed as the new voice of the blues. Living Blues enthused\, “Magic Touch gives hope that the blues will survive.” In 2008 Németh was recruited by Elvin Bishop to do some performances and contribute four vocal tracks to his Grammy-nominated album “The Blues Rolls On.” \nNémeth released two more albums on the Blind Pig label\, “Love Me Tonight” (2009) & “Name The Day (2010)\, both hitting #6 on the Billboard Blues Chart\, and beginning his long string of Blues Music Award (BMA) nominations\, numbering 20 at last count. John has also won two Blues Blast Music Awards – Best New Artist Debut Recording and Sean Costello Rising Star Award. John followed up with two independently released live albums in 2012\, “Blues Live” and “Soul Live.” \nIn 2013 John relocated to Memphis\, Tennessee\, where he teamed up with producer Scott Bomar and his classic Memphis Soul band\, the Bo-Keys\, to create an album of revisited soul classics\, “Memphis Grease” (2014 Blue Corn)\, which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Blues Chart. John won the 2104 BMA for Best Soul Blues Male Artist\, followed by “Memphis Grease” winning Best Soul Blues Album in 2015. \nIn 2017 Németh released “Feelin’ Freaky” (produced by Luther Dickinson) on his own Memphis Grease label\, crushing all barriers of style and genre with an album of original songs that defied all the usual pigeonholes\, drawing from his strong influences in blues and R&B\, as well as contemporary sounds in hip hop and rock ‘n’ roll. Later that same year\, Németh was part of a side project “The Love Light Orchestra Featuring John Németh” recorded live at one of Memphis’ favorite watering holes\, Bar DKDC. The 10-piece band was initially envisioned by guitarist Joe Restivo\, vocalist John Németh and arranger/trumpeter Marc Franklin. \nNémeth returned to Electraphonic in December of 2019 with his seasoned road band of young gun players\, The Blue Dreamers\, featuring 19 year-old guitar phenom from Philadelphia\, Jon Hay\, drummer Danny Banks and Matt Wilson on bass for a rowdy southern swamp roots session resulting in his 10th album\, “Stronger Than Strong” demonstrating\, yet again\, his uncanny ability to skillfully blend retro and modern blues and soul into compelling music that is simultaneously old and new. \nJohnNémeth\nAmerican electric Blues and Soul harmonicist\, singer\, and songwriter \n \n JohnNémeth\n \n \n \n Nothing But A Woman by John Németh\nStronger Than Strong by John Németh\nLive from The Fallout Shelter: Celebrating 20 Years by John Németh\n \n\n\n Minors allowed with parent/guardian.\n \n\n Check out our bottom up tap beer\n \n\n Bringing quality live music to town in a clean safe environment\n \n\n“Keepin’ It Live Since 2009”\n\n 8 events found.\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n Events Search and Views Navigation \n \n \n \n\n Search\n \n\n \n \n Enter Keyword.

If you’re not ready to book shows of your own\, how can you get comfortable on a stage? Open mic events can solve the problem. \nOpen mic nights serve as incubators for beginning musicians\, or for more practiced types\, they are a great way to test new material before throwing it into a big show. For the totally fresh player\, it can be a daunting experience. Here are 9 tips to rock open mic so you will be prepared to take the stage and get the most out of the experience. \n9 Tips to Rock Open Mic1. Know what kind of an open mic it is. Do a little research before you attend the event. Open mics are not universally the same. Some are all acoustic (no microphones or plugged-in instruments); some are coffeehouse-style where people sit in silence listening to players; some are jams where a backing band or equipment might be provided. Make a trip down to the open mic you’ve got in mind before you participate\, or contact the host to get the details. \n2. Everyone at an open mic knows it’s an open mic. People there are not expecting a Lady Gaga production to walk through the door. They’re expecting a musician (or possibly a small group) to share some material that might be polished\, or it might be the first time performed on a stage. Don’t stress about what people will think. They understand the spirit of the event. \n3. Feel totally comfortable with your material. You’ll probably only have a few songs (many open mics are set by a song or time limit\, usually about three songs or 15 minutes @ The Mission)\, so make sure you’re putting your best foot forward. Just in case you get rattled on stage\, make sure you know the tunes in and out. \n4. Don’t stress about what to bring. Whoever is running the open mic will have equipment for you and they should be fully capable of setting you up with it. If you’ve never plugged in a guitar or sung into a microphone—don’t worry. They’ll make sure you do it right and that it sounds good. That’s part of the Open Mic experience at The Mission. We have a full back line: Guitars – acoustic/electric\, electric & amp and bass & amp. Full drum kit & Yamaha keyboard. Mics\, cables\, stands. And our sound technician is here to help. \n5. Don’t be afraid to ask. Open mic beginners may think they are completely at the host’s mercy. Truth is\, we’re here to make you sound good! That said\, if you can’t hear yourself\, vocals are too loud\, guitar is too quiet\, whatever\, by all means\, tell them! \n6. Don’t be afraid to trust. The host should understand their sound system very well\, so trust that once you’re settled on stage they’re making it sound right out front. If you’re happy with what’s in your monitor sound\, leave the rest to them. We know our system inside and out. It’s a small room and you have 15 minutes. Let us do our job and make the room sound perfect for your performance. \n7. Support other players. If you don’t want to be judged\, don’t judge other people. Open mics are a place to try material you might not get to try on other stages. Celebrate the people who come to share their art. Cannot emphasize this enough! This is the spirit of Open Mic Nights at The Mission. Enough said. \n8. Network. Open mics are musician hangouts—take advantage! If you’re looking to start a band or find musicians to see elsewhere\, there’s a good chance they’ll be hanging out at an open mic. We’re on Season 16 at The Mission full of Open Mic Stories of success from Open Mic. \n9. Learn from the experience. Every time you walk away from an open mic\, there is something to learn. How were you received? What feedback did people give you? Did you feel more comfortable? How did you compare with the other players? Honestly analyze the event to improve your performance next time. And take the compliments even if you know you made mistakes. You still entertained folks. \n(10) And finally\, HAVE FUN! Open mics are meant\, most of all\, to be fun. Musicians get to mingle\, everyone gets to play\, and even if you have the biggest flub of all time—it’s all in the spirit of open mic. To take the stage at all is to win. Enjoy it\, learn from the experience\, and have a good time! Join us for Open Mic Night\, share some air and feel the Mission Magic! \n\n\nOpen Mic Night {Wednesdays!}\nOctober 8 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nOpen Mic Night {Wednesdays!}\nOctober 8 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nOpen Mic Night {Wednesdays!}\nOctober 15 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nJosh Morningstar\nOctober 17 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nOpen Mic Night {Wednesdays!}\nOctober 22 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nTandem Duo\nOctober 24 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nSunday Blues Jam!\nOctober 26 @ 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm\n\nOpen Mic Night {Wednesdays!}\nOctober 29 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm\n\nOpen Mic Night {Wednesdays!}\nNovember 5 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm\n\n11/6 The Mankin Brother {First Thurs!}\nNovember 6 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm\n\n12/4 The Mankin Brothers {First Thurs!}\nDecember 4 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm\n\nTandem Duo\nDecember 19 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/open-mic-night-wednesdays/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Open Mic Night @ The Mission,Poetry Night,SHOWS,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/OMN-2025-Website-1200-x-625-px.jpg GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250927T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250927T223000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20250926T053906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250926T054307Z UID:10002228-1759001400-1759012200@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:The Left Hand Band DESCRIPTION:Sarah & Mark and John Walker URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/the-left-hand-band-2/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Acoustic,Americana/Folk,Bluegrass,Cover Bands,Folk,Jazz,Reggae/Jam,SHOWS,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/the-left-hand-band-92725website-944-x-648-px.png GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250918T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250918T220000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20250917T233412Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250918T030625Z UID:10002215-1758222000-1758232800@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:Sideshow Fluffers & Spicy Laser Twins DESCRIPTION:Doc\, Cole\, Nick and Will bring their unique talent to The Mission for fun evening! \n\n\n\n$NO COVER \n\n\n\n\n \n  URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/sideshow-fluffers-spicy-laser-twins/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Indie Rock,Punk Rock,SHOWS,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Copy-of-paint-350-x-200-px.png GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230728T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230729T000000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20230725T063356Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230728T224649Z UID:10000958-1690576200-1690588800@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:Down Side Up!! DESCRIPTION:Doors open @ 6pm\n$8 Advanced Tickets\n$10 @ Door\n$15 Table Reservations {Tickets are seperate} \n \n\n \n\n \nDown Side Up was formed in 2006 by 5th graders: Ryan Mankin\, Aaron Mankin\, and Joe Lawler in order to blow Immaculate Conception’s student body’s mind at the 5th grade talent show. The show would go down infamously in history and Down Side Up’s journey would begin. Joe Lawler soon after parted ways\, but will always remain a founding member. In order to prepare for the 7th grade talent show Ryan and Aaron would join forces with friends Jason Kremer (lead guitar) and Adam Buhr (bass). This team in fact did go on to nail their talent show performance and make several house party\, birthday\, and county fair appearances. Freshmen year of high school the band once again parted. Aaron Mankin and Ryan Mankin were soon introduced to Helias High School Senior\, Hunter O’Donnell\, bass player. The three of them and guitarist Jason Kremer once again prepared for yet another talent show but their audition was denied. Ryan Mankin\, Aaron Mankin\, and Hunter O’Donnell\, the current lineup\, began their long jouney of vengeance\, delving deep into themselves and harnessing their Rock n’ Roll chakra. The trio began playing bars/music venues in 2013 at such establishments as the Mission in Jefferson City\, MO and later the Bridge in Columbia\, MO\, now located in Jefferson City. Down Side Up released their first EP “Down Side Up”\, recorded and produced by Pete Szkolka Music Productions\, in March of 2015. The band has since released three singles: “Hollow Street”\, “50 Reasons”\, and “Jibberish”\, recorded and produced by Jack Gue with Winksigh Recorders formerly known as Meth Lab Recording Studio. The boys of Down Side Up play their original music as well as classic rock and 90s covers all over Jefferson City and Columbia\, Missouri\, and are always working on new material which they hope to release in the future. \nFACEBOOK {Down Side Up} URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/down-side-up-3/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Classic Rock,Indie Rock,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DSU-72823-WEBSITE-1.jpg GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230423T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230423T190000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20230422T161107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230423T170522Z UID:10000372-1682269200-1682276400@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:POSTPONED -JOSH MORNIGSTAR {TBA} DESCRIPTION:The 2/23 Josh Morningstar performance is POSTPONED.

A conformed church housed a bar in the front full of rogue townies\, and a lounge in the back. “Turn your phones off\,” the host of the lounge barked into the microphone. “Turn them off\, sit back\, and pay attention. This guy is quiet\, and he’s going to tell you some stories.” And my eyebrows raised when his hoarse voice breathed life into a quiet\, rapt crowd. With his eyes closed\, he sang songs -chunks of him offered up to a willing mass. “I’m not a singer\,” he said eventually\, looking down at his guitar. I leaned in to listen harder. “I’m not a guitarist. I’m a song writer. “In his songs were stories and in his stories were words pushed together that took my breath away\, and in his stories were words that oozed the Blood from the Before\, and in his stories were ripped edges. I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know the names of the chunks and I wanted to inspect the hole in his chest and I wanted to know where those melodies come from and I wanted to know how he chooses the words. I wanted to know what he has written on the scraps of paper in his wallet and I wanted to know if his handwriting changes when he knows it’s a good one. It was a listening lounge\, and we were supposed to be quiet and listen\, but he played a song we all knew. And we sang the words with him. We couldn’t help it -not one single person. A crooked grin formed behind the microphone and I’m fairly certain that’s why he does what he does. Not for the lights. Not for the cheers. For sure not for the money. He does it for the people that hear the story and say\, “Yes. Me\, too. I have been there\, too. “In a town out in the middle of the cornfields of Iowa\, a group of people sang the words back to him that he had written. A melody chunked out of one disaster from his life\, and sewn together with a rhyme\, and maybe that’s how you heal the hurt….Vulnerability. Standing up on a stage when you’d rather be holding a pen. Sure looks an awful lot like courage.-Rebecca Cooper\, Author A curious and fresh combination of grit and humor\, Josh Morningstar is knocking down stereotypes with his worn boots and unforgettable raspy voice. He is a small-town boy that originally hails from Funkstown\, Maryland\, and he carries those roots in a suitcase with him everywhere he goes. His small-town charm is evident in the way he greets people\, and in the conversational way that he weaves the stories of his life into his music. In front of the bright lights and behind the microphone isn’t where Morningstar feels most at home. Named the 2018 Texas Radio Songwriter of the Year\, he and his Kristofferson signed guitar have knocked out melodies in dingy hotels all across the country. He’s written songs alongside Kendell Marvel\, Channing Wilson\, Autumn McEntire\, and many more. Morningstar was also the writer of several Cody Jinks songs\, including his #1 hit “Must Be The Whiskey”. His lyrics force listeners to sit up and pay attention\, and his songs are always full of truth-bearing stories. The familial connection Morningstar forges with people continues long after his shows are over. Josh Morningstar has shared the stage with some of today’s most sought after folk and country artists\, including Shooter Jennings\, Cody Jinks\, Tyler Childers\, Todd Snider\, Colter Wall\, and Ward Davis. Morningstar continues to lead the charge on the front lines of a new wave of country music – one full of soulful honesty\, the familiar and true twang of an old guitar\, and provoking melodies that tattoo stories to the souls of the listeners. His ability to write about tragedies and victories enamor his tribe of self-proclaimed “Crazies”\, and the best part of it all is that he’s just getting started.

Growing up around it made me want to pick up a guitar and learn to play along. But it wasn’t until late in high school that I understood how much of a hold it had on me\, even more so when there’s a girl involved. Artists like Eric Church and Kip Moore helped me make sense of a lot of things in my life and inspired me to want to do it for myself by writing my own songs. Music has always been there for me in any situation and I hope that I can share that with others.” – Clay Benne URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/josh-mornigstar-returns-w-special-guest-clay-benne-the-mission/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Country,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Josh-Mornighstar-wClay-Benne-10-14-2022-WEBSITE-1200-×-675-px.jpg GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220906T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220906T230000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20220902T210051Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220902T211419Z UID:10000257-1662490800-1662505200@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:Sarah Parker {ALL NIGHT HAPPY HOUR!!} @ The Mission DESCRIPTION:Doors@5pm \nSHOW 7-9PM \nNo Cover – Tips kindly appreciated!! \nSarah Parker hosts our popular Tuesday ALL NIGHT HAPPY HOUR!

A conformed church housed a bar in the front full of rogue townies\, and a lounge in the back. “Turn your phones off\,” the host of the lounge barked into the microphone. “Turn them off\, sit back\, and pay attention. This guy is quiet\, and he’s going to tell you some stories.” And my eyebrows raised when his hoarse voice breathed life into a quiet\, rapt crowd. With his eyes closed\, he sang songs -chunks of him offered up to a willing mass. “I’m not a singer\,” he said eventually\, looking down at his guitar. I leaned in to listen harder. “I’m not a guitarist. I’m a song writer. “In his songs were stories and in his stories were words pushed together that took my breath away\, and in his stories were words that oozed the Blood from the Before\, and in his stories were ripped edges. I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know the names of the chunks and I wanted to inspect the hole in his chest and I wanted to know where those melodies come from and I wanted to know how he chooses the words. I wanted to know what he has written on the scraps of paper in his wallet and I wanted to know if his handwriting changes when he knows it’s a good one. It was a listening lounge\, and we were supposed to be quiet and listen\, but he played a song we all knew. And we sang the words with him. We couldn’t help it -not one single person. A crooked grin formed behind the microphone and I’m fairly certain that’s why he does what he does. Not for the lights. Not for the cheers. For sure not for the money. He does it for the people that hear the story and say\, “Yes. Me\, too. I have been there\, too. “In a town out in the middle of the cornfields of Iowa\, a group of people sang the words back to him that he had written. A melody chunked out of one disaster from his life\, and sewn together with a rhyme\, and maybe that’s how you heal the hurt….Vulnerability. Standing up on a stage when you’d rather be holding a pen. Sure looks an awful lot like courage.-Rebecca Cooper\, Author \nA curious and fresh combination of grit and humor\, Josh Morningstar is knocking down stereotypes with his worn boots and unforgettable raspy voice. He is a small-town boy that originally hails from Funkstown\, Maryland\, and he carries those roots in a suitcase with him everywhere he goes. His small-town charm is evident in the way he greets people\, and in the conversational way that he weaves the stories of his life into his music. \nIn front of the bright lights and behind the microphone isn’t where Morningstar feels most at home. Named the 2018 Texas Radio Songwriter of the Year\, he and his Kristofferson signed guitar have knocked out melodies in dingy hotels all across the country. He’s written songs alongside Kendell Marvel\, Channing Wilson\, Autumn McEntire\, and many more. Morningstar was also the writer of several Cody Jinks songs\, including his #1 hit “Must Be The Whiskey”. \nHis lyrics force listeners to sit up and pay attention\, and his songs are always full of truth-bearing stories. The familial connection Morningstar forges with people continues long after his shows are over. Josh Morningstar has shared the stage with some of today’s most sought after folk and country artists\, including Shooter Jennings\, Cody Jinks\, Tyler Childers\, Todd Snider\, Colter Wall\, and Ward Davis. Morningstar continues to lead the charge on the front lines of a new wave of country music – one full of soulful honesty\, the familiar and true twang of an old guitar\, and provoking melodies that tattoo stories to the souls of the listeners. His ability to write about tragedies and victories enamor his tribe of self-proclaimed “Crazies”\, and the best part of it all is that he’s just getting started. \nSong writing credits with: Hayes Carll\, “Big” Al Anderson (NRBQ)\, Kendell Marvel\, Cody Jinks\, Erin Enderlin\, Autumn McEntire\, Hannah Blaylock (Edens Edge)\, Sunny Sweeney\, Ward Davis\, Larry McCoy\, Mark McGuinn\, Billy Don Burns\, Alex Williams\, Channing WIlson\, Wyatt Durette\, Casper McWade\, Steve Dean\, Chris Gantry\, John Berry\, Sam Williams\, Waylon Payne \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE {Billy Don Burns} \nFACEBOOK {Billy Don Burns} \n\n\n\n\n“Billy Don Burns is a true Country Music Warrior.

He’s respected far and wide for his long career in songwriting and performing\, and he’s still out there. He’s lived it and breathed it through lifetimes of country music passion and pain. Carrying the guitar like a sword on his back\, he battles for the Poet. He battles for the Artist. He battles for the souls who defy modern convention.

All this while remaining feverishly reverent to the roots of country music\, greeting current day affairs head on\, and chasing whiskey shots with the rowdiest banter one can muster. \nCurrently touring both the US as well as Internationally Kayla Ray is a quick rising favorite of the independent scene. Kayla’s latest studio single\, “The Jameson Waltz” (2019) more than quadrupled it’s projected numbers in it’s first quarter. Kayla’s most recent full album release\, “Yesterday & Me” (2018) received high praise in both the United States as well as the UK earning Ray the number 1 spot on Kelly Gregory of \,“Country Music People” Magazine’s\, top albums list of 2018. \nDespite a recent surge\, Kayla Ray is far from new to the scene. Interested in the long game\, Kayla has been at this pursuit the majority of her young life. Kayla’s pedigree comes as an almost novella type story. That of a budding classic. Despite growing up rather hard\, as a child Ray often entered herself into local talent contests and variety shows. Because of these efforts\, Ray was lucky enough to find herself playing often around the Legendary Gimble Family in the Waco\, Texas area. The talent\, kindness\, and class of the Gimble Family remain a large influence for Kayla Ray. \nShe\, then underage and\, in a charge of independence\, booked her first headlining gig at Papa Joes of Lorena\, Texas. Where as she puts it\, “Billy Joe Shaver shot that guy in the face and got away with it.” Kayla built a band and spent a few years touring Texas and taking necessary knocks before making her entry into the national touring scene. She made this entry employed as tour manager for accomplished songwriter Jason Eady. During this time in addition to her tour managing duties\, Kayla opened shows\, sang duets and\, “kept the boys in line”. \nKayla eventually grew from this position and left the job in 2014 to tour independently. Although\, remaining a close confidant\, Jason Eady had a large hand in producing both of Kayla’s full length albums. \nOver the last decade Kayla has received many awards and accolades.

Paul honed his craft around the wood stove at the family cabin\, in churches\, and in the blues clubs of Kansas City and Springfield\, MO. While playing all over the great state of Missouri\, he earned a music degree and continues to earn a reputation for connecting people with story songs and skillful guitar work. Heavily influenced by the Springfield Sound and the blues scene in Kansas City\, Paul currently resides near his grandparent’s home in Jefferson City\, Missouri where you can find him playing his red Fender Stratocaster wherever people gather to share life\, love\, and music.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will find Paul performing as a solo artist\, duo or sitting in with full bands\, including the powerhouse blues band\, Buddha Blue…a perfectly well rounded musician and performer.

A conformed church housed a bar in the front full of rogue townies\, and a lounge in the back. “Turn your phones off\,” the host of the lounge barked into the microphone. “Turn them off\, sit back\, and pay attention. This guy is quiet\, and he’s going to tell you some stories.” And my eyebrows raised when his hoarse voice breathed life into a quiet\, rapt crowd. With his eyes closed\, he sang songs -chunks of him offered up to a willing mass. “I’m not a singer\,” he said eventually\, looking down at his guitar. I leaned in to listen harder. “I’m not a guitarist. I’m a song writer. “In his songs were stories and in his stories were words pushed together that took my breath away\, and in his stories were words that oozed the Blood from the Before\, and in his stories were ripped edges. I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know the names of the chunks and I wanted to inspect the hole in his chest and I wanted to know where those melodies come from and I wanted to know how he chooses the words. I wanted to know what he has written on the scraps of paper in his wallet and I wanted to know if his handwriting changes when he knows it’s a good one. It was a listening lounge\, and we were supposed to be quiet and listen\, but he played a song we all knew. And we sang the words with him. We couldn’t help it -not one single person. A crooked grin formed behind the microphone and I’m fairly certain that’s why he does what he does. Not for the lights. Not for the cheers. For sure not for the money. He does it for the people that hear the story and say\, “Yes. Me\, too. I have been there\, too. “In a town out in the middle of the cornfields of Iowa\, a group of people sang the words back to him that he had written. A melody chunked out of one disaster from his life\, and sewn together with a rhyme\, and maybe that’s how you heal the hurt….Vulnerability. Standing up on a stage when you’d rather be holding a pen. Sure looks an awful lot like courage.-Rebecca Cooper\, Author \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA curious and fresh combination of grit and humor\, Josh Morningstar is knocking down stereotypes with his worn boots and unforgettable raspy voice. He is a small-town boy that originally hails from Funkstown\, Maryland\, and he carries those roots in a suitcase with him everywhere he goes. His small-town charm is evident in the way he greets people\, and in the conversational way that he weaves the stories of his life into his music. \n\n\n\nIn front of the bright lights and behind the microphone isn’t where Morningstar feels most at home. Named the 2018 Texas Radio Songwriter of the Year\, he and his Kristofferson signed guitar have knocked out melodies in dingy hotels all across the country. He’s written songs alongside Kendell Marvel\, Channing Wilson\, Autumn McEntire\, and many more. Morningstar was also the writer of several Cody Jinks songs\, including his #1 hit “Must Be The Whiskey”. \n\n\n\nHis lyrics force listeners to sit up and pay attention\, and his songs are always full of truth-bearing stories. The familial connection Morningstar forges with people continues long after his shows are over. Josh Morningstar has shared the stage with some of today’s most sought after folk and country artists\, including Shooter Jennings\, Cody Jinks\, Tyler Childers\, Todd Snider\, Colter Wall\, and Ward Davis. Morningstar continues to lead the charge on the front lines of a new wave of country music – one full of soulful honesty\, the familiar and true twang of an old guitar\, and provoking melodies that tattoo stories to the souls of the listeners. His ability to write about tragedies and victories enamor his tribe of self-proclaimed “Crazies”\, and the best part of it all is that he’s just getting started. \n\n\n\nSong writing credits with: Hayes Carll\, “Big” Al Anderson (NRBQ)\, Kendell Marvel\, Cody Jinks\, Erin Enderlin\, Autumn McEntire\, Hannah Blaylock (Edens Edge)\, Sunny Sweeney\, Ward Davis\, Larry McCoy\, Mark McGuinn\, Billy Don Burns\, Alex Williams\, Channing WIlson\, Wyatt Durette\, Casper McWade\, Steve Dean\, Chris Gantry\, John Berry\, Sam Williams\, Waylon Payne \n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/ZHJ3s3Yeogo?t=2\n\n\nCLAY BENNE “For me\, music started when I would ride in my dad’s truck with the radio stuck on classic rock. Growing up around it made me want to pick up a guitar and learn to play along. But it wasn’t until late in high school that I understood how much of a hold it had on me\, even more so when there’s a girl involved. Artists like Eric Church and Kip Moore helped me make sense of a lot of things in my life and inspired me to want to do it for myself by writing my own songs. Music has always been there for me in any situation and I hope that I can share that with others.” – Clay Benne \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/xTz0ahqIQY0JB94.mp4\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/wjtz26FB3UmkorK.mp4\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/HnwhDZj4UVm0kkT.mp4\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/K60qOLEzbKmgXnU.mp4 URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/josh-morningstar/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Country,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Sept-17-1.png GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210827T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210827T230000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20210828T013056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210824T204844Z UID:10000096-1630096200-1630105200@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:Zak Skinner w/Nick Gazca {Friday Night} @ The Mission DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm/SHOW@8:30 \n $5 Cover \nZak Skinner – Facebook Music Page \nZak Skinner – Website \nBorn Zachary Dean Skinner on June 9\, 1988 in McKinney\, TX \, he started writing his own music at age 17 drawing his influences mostly from the alternative\, punk and indie/College Rock scene of the early ’90’s.

They recorded a demo\, and from that\, and countless free gigs\, his fans formed a foundation. Zak recorded a solo album in December of 2013 at Walker Studios in Gordonville\, Tx\, which was a collection of old and new songs he had written over time\, and produced by an old friend\, Tommy Walker. Together\, they have released the 3 song single “DEMO” with a full electric sound\, in fall of 2015. Zak traveled between states from 2013 to 2015 for work with Renaissance festivals. He used the opportunity to travel\, to play as often as he could\, gathering a few friends in different places\, before settling in Jefferson City\, MO. Missouri projects include Love-Seats\, Propaganja\, Rusted Satellites\, Persephone’s Whiskey Lullaby\, All of Us Together\, Collin County Steel & Wire. \n \n  \n  URL:https://themissionjc.com/event/zak-skinner-w-nick-gazca-friday-night-the-mission/ LOCATION:The Mission\, 915 E High Street\, Jefferson City\, MO\, 65109\, United States CATEGORIES:Indie Rock,Punk Rock,Singer Songwriter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-Blue-Simple-Quote-Video-Instagram-Post.png GEO:38.5693146;-92.1613425 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mission 915 E High Street Jefferson City MO 65109 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=915 E High Street:geo:-92.1613425,38.5693146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210826T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210826T220000 DTSTAMP:20260522T090005 CREATED:20210827T010042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210824T222948Z UID:10000094-1630008000-1630015200@themissionjc.com SUMMARY:Katie Anne & Paige Dow DESCRIPTION:PAIGE DOW\n\nThe Gölden Band FACEBOOK\n\nThe Gölden Bank FACEBOOK\n\n\n\n A fresh\, energetic\, local Jtown artist\, Paige can be found performing solo/duo or with her The Gölden Band at several mid-Missouri venues or busking on the sidewalk.
