John Keck travels throughout Kansas and Missouri playing his modern blend of traditional Americana music. In 2018 John released the EP “Out in the Cold the 12th street singles” and in 2013 the album Jack Moon Sessions. He was also the Folk Alliance International activist and organizer of the 2019 KC Folk Festival. To him ‘writing a song is a fight with yourself; it’s an argument between your fear of letting other people know how you feel and the desire, to be honest in a public way.’ http://www.johnlkeck.com/
