"Into the Gray's members are each stellar musicians and performers with killer resumes and years of musical experience. But this Kansas City band is even greater than the sum of its talented parts. With legendary Kansas City drummer Kent Burnham, Alabama's melodic bassman Jeff Turk, Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's guitarist Skinny Webb, and powerhouse vocalist Jessica Gray, this band has been captivating audiences since their formation in 2019. Their two albums, Revelation and Little Bird, blend Latin, blues, Reggae, and rock music into their own unique, genre-defying sound.

Into the Gray's audiences have described their performances and music as creative, visionary, passionate, and one of the best bands in KC. Their songs are both original and familiar, soulful and rockin', and bursting with unique musicality and incomparable vocals. "

Melissa Carper is a one-of-a-kind voice in American roots music. With a sound that blends classic country, western swing, soul, jazz, and blues, her music feels both timeless and fresh. A skilled upright bassist and powerhouse vocalist, Melissa draws comparisons to greats like Loretta Lynn and Billie Holiday - earning her the nickname “Hillbilly Holiday.”
Originally from Nebraska, Melissa spent years living and performing in Eureka Springs, where she found community and creative inspiration. She’s known for co-founding groups like The Carper Family, Sad Daddy, and Buffalo Gals with fiddler Rebecca Patek. Her years in Eureka’s music scene helped shape the storytelling style and vintage flair that define her solo work today.
Her breakthrough solo album Daddy’s Country Gold introduced fans to her signature blend of vulnerability and wit, with standout tracks like “Old Fashioned Gal.” She followed it with Ramblin’ Soul - a bold, genre-crossing record that earned national acclaim. Her most recent release, Borned In Ya, continues that evolution with lush arrangements and even deeper emotional resonance.
Melissa’s songs are heartfelt, often humorous, and always honest - a perfect fit for Fall Diversity Weekend, where storytelling, identity, and community take center stage. Join us for this unforgettable performance from an artist whose roots run deep in Eureka Springs.
