Live This Week: February 22 - 28, 2026

Ricky Chilton

Ricky Chilton is a young country music singer whose self-mythology/world-building on his website's "about" page alone is impressive, let alone the songs. He stops in Kansas City on Friday to headline a gig at The Ship. Rex Hobart & The Misery Boys open and DJ Night Train keeps the music playing after the guitar-slingers wrap up.

 

Other acts worth catching this week include Nuovo Testamento, Academy Order, Hello Biplane, Granule, Donny Benet, Proxy War, and Virga.
