Kansas- Leftoverture- Kerry Livgren, Phil Ehart, Steve Walsh, Richard Williams, the late Robbie Steinhardt

By 1976, it was go big or go home for this intrepid six-man band from Topeka, Kansas. Because of the hit “Carry On Wayward Son” ( submitted by the prolific Kerry Livgren even as the band was packing up to leave rehearsals ) and radio hits “Miracles Out of Nowhere”,”The Wall”, “Cheyenne Anthem”, and “What’s On My Mind “, Leftoverture   gave Kansas rock statehood to the tune of over four million sold. Livgren is joined by Richard Williams, Phil Ehart, Steve Walsh, & the late original Kansas violinist/singer Robbie Steinhardt here In the Studio.
