The rock band Kansas is: Phil Ehart, Billy Greer, Dave Ragsdale, Steve Walsh and Richard Williams and some of their bigger hits include Dust In the Wind, Carry On Wayward Son, Point of Know Return, Hold On, Play the Game Tonight, and Song For America.
Celebrating their 40th year as a band in 2013, KANSAS’ first public statement appeared on their self-titled album in 1974. “From the beginning, we considered ourselves and our music different and we hope we will always remain so.” Little did this legendary rock group realize that back in the early ‘70’s, what seemed to be “different,” was actually ahead of its time.
This “garage band” from Topeka was discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and released their first album in 1974.
KANSAS has produced eight gold albums, three six time-platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show) and a million-selling gold single, ‘Dust in the Wind.’ KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. In fact, ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ was the #2 most Played Track on classic rock radio in 1995 and went to #1 in 1997.
In 1998, Kansas released an orchestral CD, “Always Never the Same,” recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London. They followed with an orchestral tour accompanied by top-caliber symphony orchestras.
From the beginning, Kansas achieved success by playing only their original music.
In 2000, Kansas went back into the studio with original band member and songwriter Kerry Livgren to produce “Somewhere to Elsewhere,” the first CD featuring all 6 of the original players in 20 years! The ten new songs were written by Kerry Livgren and recorded in his studio in Topeka, Kansas. Players included Phil Ehart, Billy Greer, Dave Hope, Kerry Livgren, Robby Steinhardt, Steve Walsh and Richard Williams.
2001 brought the much anticipated, digitally re-mastered release of “Masque” and “Leftoverture,” including never-released demos and live cuts. The digital re-master of “Point of Know Return” was released in February 2002. It also includes two new live cuts.
Original member and drumming master, Phil Ehart said, “We always have our eyes on the horizon. We are always looking for new ways to capture the essence of our music and of our performance.”
