KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70's and ‘80's and played to sold-out arenas & stadiums.

The band boast a lineup of original drummer Phil Ehart, vocalist/keyboardist Ronnie Platt, violinist/guitarist Joe Deninzon, keyboardist/vocalist Tom Brislin, guitarist Zak Rizvi, bassist/vocalist Dan McGowan, & original guitarist Richard Williams. Drummer Eric Holmquist is performing while Phil Ehart recovers from a major heart attack.

KANSAS continues to perform in front of large and enthusiastic audiences.

The band continues to reach a new audience through their unmistakable presence in various commercials, popular video games Rock Band, Guitar Hero, & Grand Theft Auto; the documentary film “KANSAS: Miracles Out of Nowhere,” & an appearance on The CW’s television show ‘Walker.’ The band’s songs have been included in various television shows such as ‘Supernatural,’ ‘Reacher,’ ‘’South Park,’ ‘The Office,’ & ‘The Simpsons;’ and blockbuster films including ‘Old School,’ ‘The Suicide Squad,’ ‘Anchorman,’ ‘Pitch Perfect,’ & ‘Happy Gilmore.’
