Make Music Day Kansas City: The Barton Street Band
Make Music Day in Kansas City is part of a global event that aims to strengthen social and cultural ties, elevate the profile of our city, and support amateur and professional musicians and educators on the longest day of the year!
Enjoy a performance by the Barton Street Band on Sunday, June 21, 11AM-12PM, at The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures. The performance is free with Museum admission.

The Barton Street Band have been making noise together since 2016—back when they were still in kindergarten and already plotting something louder. Fronted by identical twins Ira Good (percussion, piano, harmonica) and Arlo Good (vocals, guitar, bass), the Kansas City group channels a sharp mix of indie rock and post-punk with a restless, DIY edge. Now 15, they’ve already put in the reps—cutting tracks, and playing live at stages across the Kansas City metro, from the Kauffman Center’s Future Stages Festival (three years running) to Union Station, the KC Zoo, and wherever else they can plug in and turn up. They’ve even been featured on 90.9 FM The Bridge. Offstage, both brothers sharpen their chops in the Shawnee Mission South Jazz Band—and in any other musical side projects that emerge.
