Local Listen: Schwervon

This year’s Middle of the Map music festival will take place April 3-5 at many locations in and around Westport. For the next several weeks, our “Local Listen” segment will focus on musicians from the Kansas City area who will be sharing the stages with regional and national artists.

In this week's Local Listen, we hear "Cyclone," a track from the album "Courage" by the Lawrence duo Schwervon, who will also be performing this weekend at the MidCoast Takeover, a showcase featuring area musicians that’s part of this year’s South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. 

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
