Kansas City's 18th and Vine District is hallowed ground for jazz, where the Blue Room and the Green Lady Lounge in the Crossroads Arts District keep the city's swing and bebop legacy alive every night. Knuckleheads Saloon in the East Bottoms brings blues and rock touring acts into a gritty railroad setting, while Westport's Riot Room books indie and hip-hop. The city's folk and Americana scenes thrive in smaller bars and listening rooms scattered between downtown and the historic district.
