Calvin Arsenia and Friends

Knuckleheads, Kansas City, MO

Under 21 with Guardian

Singer, harpist, and author Calvin Arsenia has built a reputation for turning the arts world on its head. Voted Kansas City's Best Musician 2018 - present (The Pitch), and featured on Billboard.com, NPR.org, NEWNOWNEXT, Pride.com, and GRAMMY.com, Arsenia’s angelic stylings on voice and harp create rare harmonies and arrangements that look past the boundaries of his traditional gospel and classical upbringing. Known for his elaborate and ceremonious sensory concert experiences that merge jazz and electronic influences, “Calvin has consistently deliver(s) genre-bending (and gender-bending) shows that tackle sexuality, religion, and race in a stunningly unorthodox manner - somewhere between sacred and sacrilege." - Fally Afani.

The music is just one part of his prodigious performances, for Calvin believes the art is in crafting the perfect moment. His music is best served live, with sensational performances and high fashion from the visually striking performer who stands at 6’6”.

Alongside his best friend and co-host New York based comedian Justin Randall, Arsenia explores the ups and downs of being a queer person raised in the Evangelical Church in the 2020-2021 podcast We Were Christian Kids.

In 2021, Arsenia released a book of poems and stories called Every Good Boy Does Fine; Both a journey of individual healing and a call for action, these poems show that, with a little love and acceptance, anyone can flourish.

Calvin Arsenia + Bird + Cera Impala

White Water Tavern, Little Rock, Arkansas

Calvin Arsenia has built a reputation for turning the arts world on its head. While the harp has allowed this Kansas City native to become a man of the world (gaining followings in Paris, Edinburgh, and at the Outlyre Harpist Festival in Austria), it’s his unique ability to craft a stimulating setting at his live shows that has all eyes fixed on this conspicuous musician and his breathtaking approach to harp music.

Janie Price aka “BIRD” is an award-winning half English, half Irish singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She is based between London UK and Tuscany Italy. At 15 she was the youngest ever female drummer to perform a headline show at the legendary Marquee Club in London UK. At18 she started her professional career as a session musician which has seen her play for the likes of Vanessa Mae, Emeli Sande, Roachford and Just Jack to name a few and performing on national tv and radio and touring globally including performances at renowned festivals such as Glastonbury, Roskilde and Marktock.

Cera Impala creates songs that feel instantly familiar. Her whiskey-honeyed voice takes intimately crafted pieces to another time and place, one of dreams and magic -sensual as they are savage. `Armed with a sound like an audio-hug' this multi-instrumentalist has been heard all over the world; toured internationally with her handpicked band, The New Prohibition. She is in currently recording a double album with Tim Lane, 'Persephone' out in Fall 2025
