Meyer Music

We love sharing new music. Take a listen to local KC artist Eems who shared a song to help promote Art That Blows this Thursday October 1st from 5:30-7pm live on Facebook. This is a free event and will really show you the impact of Band of Angels on kids and music in our community. To see the art up for auction visit www.artthatblows.com

Very honored to share how Band of Angels is helping shape culture in business while also serving those in need. We are grateful for all who have donated and for all the employees and team members at Meyer Music for making this possible. Thank you Reconciliation Services, and Thelma's Kitchen for all you do for KC and beyond to helping under served communities. Together we make a difference.
