Kansas City Streetcar Toy Train Extension Enjoys New Soundtrack

Mixed feelings about this one . . .

Kemet is one of Kansas City's greatest musical talents, an ambitious local biz dude and all around quality person.

But, obviously, we're skeptical and salty about all things streetcar.

And so we'll just enjoy the music as a path to some of his better work . . .  

The KC Streetcar teamed up local musician, artist and business owner, Kemet Coleman, to create an original song and music video to celebrate the opening of the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension.

The original song and video, "Stay in Your Lane,"  premiered during the KC Streetcar Main Street Grand Opening Celebration on Friday, October 24, at the Plaza Transit Stop. Later that same day, Kemet Coleman performed the song live for the first time at the Community Celebration at the UMKC Streetcar Stop. The high-energy performance capped off a full day of festivities marking the 3.5-mile extension of the streetcar route from downtown Kansas City to UMKC.

The track features an all-star lineup of Kansas City talent, including Brass & Boujee (Marcus Lewis Big Band), vocals by Kadesh Flow (Ryan Davis) and Kimology (Kim Newsome), with Grammy-nominated producer Dominique Sanders on bass and Robert Tribbett III on keys and organ. Coleman served as executive producer of the project.

The music video, filmed by Sensei Brands, showcases Kansas City’s culture, landmarks, and community — from the heart of downtown to UMKC — celebrating the people who make the city move. Both the song and video were officially released on October 24 in conjunction with the Main Street Extension grand opening.
