Prepare for a night of genre-defying performances with Kansas City natives Kadesh Flow, Jasmine “Jass” Couch, Kemet Coleman and Clarence Copridge!

Kadesh Flow is a powerhouse rapper, MBA, and trombone maestro, seamlessly blending jazz, hip hop, blues, and funk with insightful and anime-laced lyrics. He’s collaborated with Jidenna and shared stages with Janelle Monae, Rakim, and more.

Jass Couch, a multi-instrumentalist and rising star, captivates with her fusion of soulful R&B and lo-fi pop, honouring Kansas City’s musical legacy while forging her own path.

Kemet Coleman, a Kansas City musician, urbanist, and entrepreneur, leads The Phantastics and Brass & Boujee, blending hip-hop and jazz. Founder of Missouri’s first Black-owned Vine Street Brewing Co., he merges music, craft beer, and community. In 2024, it was named Best Black-Owned Brewery in America, enhancing KC’s culture.

Clarence Copridge, a multi-instrumentalist, champions independent artists. Renowned for his piano, bass, and drum expertise, he offers live and studio production services. Clarence advocates for accessible creativity, promotes equal opportunities, and passionately educates and supports aspiring musicians in achieving their goals.

As part of a UNESCO City of Music partnership, the four Kansas artists will be joined by artists from Belfast.
