His first was almost exactly two years ago (on Tuesday 27th May 2008) although the restaurant and music club was opened in 1969 by the DeLellis family. The place was named after the father and the daughter Carla is now the current owner. The venue hosts an extensive range of events and artists as diverse as Emmylou Harris and The Dixie Chicks have played here.

Doors open tonight at 7.00pm for dinner reservations with the show starting at 8.00pm. The venue serves an extensive menu (click here for details) with the emphasis on healthy food that is reasonably priced.

The opening act tonight is Jacqueline Francis.

Kasim's set is scheduled to start at 9.30pm and is expected to last for between 75 to 90 minutes. After the gig, as usual, Kasim will be out to chat to people, sign autographs and pose for photos.

Kasim Sulton in Kansas City, MO
07.15 - Tonight Kasim Sulton plays the third gig on his May 2010 Kasim Sulton Solo Tour. The gig tonight is at the Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill in Kansas City, MO.

The address of the venue is 817 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO 64111 and Kasim will be playing the first gig in the 2010 Folkommotion series of concerts.

The gig starts at 8pm (doors open at 7pm) and tickets are just $15 (cash) on the door. This is an All Ages gig. The opening act is Alan White.

Folkommotion is described on its website as follows:
"From Diana Parker, Founder
In 2003, I had a cerebral aneurysm and subsequent brain surgery. My doctors told my family that I probably wouldn't survive the operation. I managed to survive the surgery and endured rehabilitation wherein I learned to walk and talk again. During my convalescence, I had a major epiphany: life's too short not to do what you love. Folkommotion was born then.
Folkommotion is a concert series designed to encourage acoustic music, both local and "national" artists have appeared. Many talented songwriters and musicians fly in "under the radar" and lots of music lovers don't know them, let alone get a chance to see them perform. We're working to correct that.
Folkommotion is a labor of love. Everyone you see working at a concert is a volunteer, and all net proceeds of the concerts go to the performers. The performers keep all merchandise sales as well - we don't take a cut from anything. Folkommotion is able to function through donations and the sales of Folkommotion merchandise. We'll never be a big, slick operation, but we'll always be there.
