Kansas claims jazz royalty through Charlie Parker, born in Kansas City, Kansas, and arena rock through Kansas, the Topeka band behind Carry On Wayward Son. Lawrence built an emo and indie identity around the University of Kansas and the Get Up Kids, while Wichita sustains scrappy punk and the bluegrass-punk of Split Lip Rayfield. The state song, Home on the Range, was written on the Smith County prairie.
