    Send us Fan Mail The Evolution of the Local Music Scene with Drummer Adam Kennedy What happened to full-band rock shows at the Lake of the Ozarks? Adam Kennedy joins me to share wild stories from the 2000s and 2010s, how a chance meeting at Gerbes helped launch his music career, his welcomed yet unexpected turn to an acoustic band, and how the central Missouri music scene has changed over the last 25 years. Enjoy this conversation with my former bandmate as we take a "back in my day" look at band life, venue budgets, and keeping the passion for music alive.  Adam occasionally posts reels of him drumming on his Facebook ______________________________________________________________________________ Huge THANK YOU to B's Pizza for supporting the podcast!
