So my Kansas City music roots began in 2006 with 56 Hope Road, and I appreciated what I knew of the music community in this city.

I fell in love with a promoter and friend of the band who was a primary contact for booking and all things in this region, and fast began spending free time in Kansas City rather than my home in Chicago. We played roughly 220 shows a year, and Kansas City was a consistent market. In 2006, I joined an independent touring band based in Chicago, 56 Hope Road. I lived in Chicago from 2002 to 2010, and in those 8 years would find work as a musician in an incredibly wide range of styles and settings. Instead, I moved to Chicago in August of 2002. Although I had been accepted to continue academic life for a Master’s degree in Vocal Jazz at The University of North Texas, I had very little drive to stay in school. I followed my sister Ginny, (two years older than me) to Millikin University, in Decatur, IL the fall of 1998, and graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 2002, with an emphasis in Commercial Music.

Our childhoods were full of performing: singing, acting, dancing, improvising, and seeking that beautiful sound of approval, laughter, and applause. They were in their early 30s when my sister and I would be carted along to community theater rehearsals in North Ridgeville, OH, not just as kids without babysitters, but as cast members in almost every production my parents would be involved with. They fell madly in love as teenagers at a music camp and married two weeks out of college.
The two of them had met at a summer music camp held in Berea, OH – at Baldwin Wallace (where dad would later earn his MBA).
She had graduated from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in 1975 and married my father, who was graduating from The University of Notre Dame that same spring. I was 4 years old when I began tinkering on the piano in my home, which was used by my mother to teach piano lessons (and still is today – almost 40 years later!). Some of my very earliest memories of joy and satisfaction came while on a stage or sitting at the piano, or listening to my father’s vinyl records in the early ’80s. I discovered my passion and purpose in life at a very early age, born and raised close to Cleveland, OH. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself. Today we’d like to introduce you to Tim Reid, Jr.
