Established in 2004, KBC takes place every 3rd Thursday at eyedrum art & music gallery from 8:00-11:30pm.
In its various incarnations over the years, Kirkwood Ballers Club has created an environment where generations of avant-garde musical energy and talent have flourished throughout periods of existence and inactivity.
During its early years at Lenny’s Bar, a parade of local punk, hip-hop, jazz, and indie rock musicians would sign up to perform including everyone from garage punks and experimental musicians Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, and Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, Janelle Monáe to Grammy-winning saxophone player Kebbi Williams of Tedeschi Trucks Band. All utilized the format to create music in the moment that expanded upon their typical repertoires.
"The Kirkwood Ballers Club was always a place of pure freedom. I learned from KBC at Lenny’s Bar and from the scene at Eyedrum how to be free. I saw some of the most original and provocative things at the KBC, and it totally affected my life as an artist.”- Kebbi Williams
