Friday Night: Elton Dan and the Rocket Band
Kansas City’s own ELTON DAN and THE ROCKET BAND pays tribute to one of the all-time greatest artists ever: Elton John. ELTON DAN’s audience engagement and captivating stage presence has toured coast to coast since 2017, is second to none and his magical piano playing captures the full ELTON experience. Future tours in Canada, Asia and ultimately, to face Europe as a boy from Missouri, are all being scheduled for 2024 and 2025.
At an ELTON DAN concert, you will be enveloped into the brilliance of Elton’s music through the incredible musicianship and high-energy performance of Dan and his Rocket Band – their mesmerizing multimedia production featuring a fantastic, vast array of costumes and dramatic special effects give fans the phenomenon of seeing Elton John in concert.
Audiences will celebrate all the Elton classics including “Rocket Man,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “I’m Still Standing,” “Philadelphia Freedom,” “Tiny Dancer,” and “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.” The band also performs songs from deeper in the Elton catalog such as “Amoreena,” “Madman Across The Water,” “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” and others rotate in and out to keep the band and audience filled with anticipation.
Saturday Night: Frank Ray
Frank Ray is a former police officer, Texas chart-topper, and bilingual recording artist opening doors for a modern Latino Country movement. Growing up both enriched in his Mexican culture, three miles from the border in New Mexico and surrounded by Country music in Texas, Frank was immersed in the best of both worlds and has been harmonizing the two since. Described as “easygoing contemporary Country with pop-soul hooks and a dash of Southwestern spice” (Rolling Stone) Frank’s music is a blend-drawing influences from ’90s Texas Country, Latin, R&B and Pop. As an entertainer, Frank delivers engaging, high-energy performances that have a little something for everyone. It’s with this cross-cultural appeal and his panorama of influences that the Los Angeles Times proclaims Ray “is looking to stretch Country music’s cultural boundaries.”
In the three short years since embarking on his musical journey full-time, he has racked up two No. 1 singles and three Top ten singles on Texas Country Radio, become a staff songwriter, landed Frank Rogers as his producer, signed a record deal with BBR Music Group/Stoney Creek Records and much more. In addition to being named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone, Ray has appeared on USA Network’s Real Country, been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and on NBC’s TODAY. He has also toured the nation and shared stages in support of artists like Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Brett Eldredge, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore, LANCO, Old Dominion, Hunter Hayes, and more. Following his just released EP “Getcha Some” and just in time for the holiday craze, the versatile entertainer is now cranking up the holiday spirit with his latest song, “Feliz Navidad,” available now.

Chyles Road band consists of Dave Spencer (songwriter, vocalist, guitar), Rick Renner (songwriter, vocalist), Tayler Spencer (guitar), and Layne Spencer (drums). Originally formed in 2006 by Dave Spencer and Rick Renner (former drummer), the band struggled with various lineup and stylistic changes. In 2011, Dave joined forces with his sons' alternative rock band, Mute The Idol, (Tayler and Layne Spencer and their bassist Sean Bird), to determine what sound they could create using the lyrics from Dave's original songs performed with the Pony Express Band (circa 1980's), as well as new collaborations written by Dave and Rick. Chyles Road is inspired by multiple music backgrounds and genres, including Thrash Metal, Grunge, Blues, Punk Rock, Southern Rock, Classic Rock and Country.
