Live This Week: January 4 - 10, 2026

In case you aren't hip to him yet, A'Sean is one of Kansas City's most talented rappers to emerge in the last decade. He graced the cover of issue 2 of Shuttlecock's short-lived free print edition back in 2021 (read that article here). Not long after that, he quietly set off to see what New York might have to offer him. Lucky for his hometown fans, he'll be back visiting town and performing music from his new album (his first full-length in a handful of years) at a show this Thursday at the Made Mobb shop.

 

Other acts worth catching this week include Richard Lloyd Group, Acid Fog, Martha Sin Del, Western Cuts, Bob Walkenhorst, Champ, and The Perilous Ones.
