Our long municipal nightmare will soon be over. Pat Metheny is slated to appear at Muriel Kauffman Theatre on Thursday, June 15. The guitarist, one of the most artistically significant and commercially successful musicians to originate from the Kansas City area, will be joined by pianist Chris Fishman and drummer Joe Dyson in the current iteration of the Side-Eye project. Metheny last performed inside the city limits of Kansas City in 2012. His relentless tour schedule has made the drought particularly reprehensible. Welcome back, hometown hero!
