Apocalypse Meow is our annual concert that serves as our primary fundraiser for Abby’s Fund For Musicians’ Health Care, and is supported by the Kansas City Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund. Sarah Bradshaw, Music Director at 90.9 The Bridge, will emcee the night, and we’ll have an online auction and live raffles will feature an assortment of items donated by local businesses.

RockDocs, a collaboration of University of Kansas and the Community Health Council of Wyandotte County, will be onsite to offer flu shots and COVID boosters, health care and ACA information, screenings, wellness programs, opportunities to discuss health conditions and concerns, and arrange follow-ups.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and music starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance, or $20 at the door, available now at therecordbar.com.

Our annual benefit concert was founded in response to Kansas City musician Abigail Henderson’s cancer diagnosis, which prompted her friends and fellow musicians to raise money for her healthcare expenses. The first concert marked the birth of the Midwest Music Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting musicians who lack proper access to health care. The event features live performances by notable Kansas City-area bands as a donation of their time and talents to their community; local businesses and artisans donate products and services to the event for auction. All monies raised during Apocalypse Meow go directly to Abby’s Fund for Musician’s Health Care and the production costs of Apocalypse Meow. Performances, business donations, and services are purely voluntary.
