Frost Loya & Friends

Frost Loya & Friends are back at The Blue Room on Saturday, October 10, their first return to the venue since they debuted there on July 25. It's a short gap between the two, so if you caught that first set, this one won't feel like a distant sequel.

Frost Loya has played lead guitar in The Frost Band KC since the band began. They describe their sound as a fusion of Latin jazz, R&B, and classic rock—three styles that don't always sit in the same room, but here they're worked into a single set. It's a broad reach, and that's exactly what the band is known for.

The Blue Room is the American Jazz Museum's working jazz club and a living exhibit in the Historic 18th & Vine Jazz District. It takes its name from the famed 1930s Street Hotel lounge, which was listed in The Negro Motorist Green Book as a safe place for African American travelers and where Jackie Robinson once lived. The district is internationally recognized as a cradle of jazz, with Charlie Parker its most notable musician, and the room stages more than 20 live shows a month.

There are two sets on the bill, one at 8:30 PM and another at 10 PM, and tickets are $10 per show. The Blue Room is at the American Jazz Museum, 1600 East 18th Street, Kansas City, MO 64108, right in the heart of the 18th & Vine Jazz District.
