Chris Carter—Kansas City’s New Hope?
Tell us about you: My name is Chris Eaddy and my Artist name is Chris Carter I am from Louisville, KY but currently based in Kansas City, MO. What makes me different as a person is that I'm me a hundred percent of the time . No matter who i’m around I don’t lose myself nor will I be anyone else to make someone else happy. I grew up like many other people, dad not around, single mom and Army brat life so I moved around a lot . All of that makes me seem relatable to people which as an Artist that’s what you want but it’s also what has individualized me . I don’t hold all of the same values and outlooks on life as the people I tend to be around. The life I lived made me want to go a different route, to live more boldly not get trapped in the status quo. I don’t want to be defined or put into a box. I want to create music that feeds me and hopefully others I don’t want to be bound by a label that someone else created. What do I want to accomplish in life…. What’s funny is that even from a young age we’re asked a variation of this question this complex but oddly simple question. I think as people we’re all headed for the same basic accomplishments, happiness , generational wealth ( so we can stop the perpetuation of systemic poverty) and a fulfilled life . Who’s to say how we get there though, we’re kinda just along for the ride. As of right now the car taking me on that ride is my music which I want to get miles on. I want to accomplish all that I can with music because this is my passion. In five years, I’d like to be a household name. I see myself with my wife and two boys actually living life and no longer surviving. I see us living wherever my wife has inevitably spent the last five years researching and planning while I tour . I’d love to be touring through Europe showing my family the world. I also want to have other business ventures going such as a clothing line and whatever else comes my way. What I bring to the music world is realness, I’m giving people what they need, what I need . I’m not always going to put something out that is a club song just because that’s what's hot right now. I’m not writing music for anyone but myself the songs that I put out are songs that are me, they are parts of me that I didn’t know until I wrote it down. Music literally uncovers who I am, daily I’m always surprising myself . I don’t put on a front with my music; what you see is what you get . I’m not going to speak on something that I'm not actually living.

He grew up in between different cities, hence he has experienced the New York City life as well as Connecticut’s suburban country-style living, which have inspired his music taste to a great degree.

Interview with Accent Sorrow
So, to begin with, I met the artist who would become Accent Sorrow about 5 or 6 years ago through one of my closest friends. I didn't have too many initial reactions of him, though I did know I wasn't a tremendous fan of his taste of music. Coincidentally, it was indirectly through this particular set of musical tastes that I came to determine that my thinking about music had ossified, and I'd reached the age where I thought the music "of my generation" was the best, and everything new sucked.

Levi Blom
While hockey and music seem like an unlikely combination, there is a common thread - Levi Blom. The multi-talented singer and songwriter not only has a passion for music but for hockey as well. The Butte, Montana native took his devotion to hockey all the way to the semi-professional level skating with the Soo Indians, Marquette Electricians, Helena Bighorns, Bismarck Bobcats, and Bozeman Stingers. After being sidelined by a devastating injury, Levi, rather than letting that life-changing moment define him, turned his attention to his other passion...music, so now, Levi is "hitting the stage" rather than "hitting the ice.
