The Band That Fell to Earth

The Band That Fell To Earth is a tribute to David Bowie, powered by some of Kansas City's most prominent musicians. The band was curated by musician/writer Michelle Bacon in late 2015 to pay homage to the groundbreaking artist while showcasing talent across Kansas City's vast musical spectrum. With Bowie's untimely passing only three weeks before the inaugural concert, the event garnered an attendance of more than 800 at the Uptown Theater, and generated media attention, along with high demand for an annual show.

The band's two consecutive annual shows (Jan. 7, 2017 and Jan. 6, 2018) have sold out recordBar, and have donated thousands of dollars to local charity organizations — Midwest Music Foundation, AIDS Service Foundation of Greater Kansas City, and Harmony Project KC.
