A Spectacular Journey

KANSAS drummer and original member, Phil Ehart, reflects on the tour’s success, saying, “The way audiences have received the 50th-anniversary tour has been spectacular.” He adds, “It only made sense to extend the tour into 2024. We look forward to fans in more locations being able to see the tour — and for people who loved it the first time to see it again!”

Ehart humorously notes, “Heck, the first 50 dates didn’t even include the state of Kansas. You know we must perform there!”

A Legacy of Musical Excellence

Billboard magazine recently paid tribute to KANSAS’s enduring appeal, describing their unique blend of blues-based hard rock and intricate progressive compositions. Their ability to be both original and accessible has made them a staple in the world of progressive rock.

Celebrating the Musical Journey

KANSAS guitarist and original member, Richard Williams, reflects on their illustrious journey. “Our entire career has been a winding journey,” he shares. “There have been several forks in the road of that journey. This 50th-anniversary tour and release represent that journey and the forks along that road.”

Commemorating 50 Years of Music

To further celebrate their 50th anniversary, InsideOut Music has released “Another Fork In The Road – 50 Years Of Kansas.” This three-CD collection spans KANSAS’s extensive discography, carefully selecting tracks from their musical legacy. It also features a new rendition of the classic song “Can I Tell You,” originally from their 1974 debut album, updated by the current lineup.

The Remarkable Lineup

KANSAS’s current lineup includes original members Phil Ehart and Richard Williams, along with Billy Greer on bass and vocals, Ronnie Platt on lead vocals and keyboards, Tom Brislin on keyboards and vocals, Joe Deninzon on violin and guitar, and Eric Holmquist filling in on drums for the first part of each concert while Phil Ehart continues to recover from an arm injury.
