Country music legends Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and The Ozark Mountain Daredevils will take the Uptown Theater stage at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 17, 2017. The iconic bands’ performance at the annual Dose of Fun concert benefits Kansas City’s Medicine Cabinet, a program that provides emergency medical services for uninsured and underinsured Kansas Citians. The Dose of Fun concert offers a rare opportunity to experience these two renowned bands.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, formed 50 years ago, often is cited as a catalyst for an entire movement in country rock and American roots music. The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, formed in Springfield, Missouri, in 1972 and known for its southern/country rock, has ties to Kansas City from numerous performances at the Cowtown Ballroom and other venues in the band’s early years. Band members are semi-retired and maintain a limited concert schedule.
Dose of Fun concert tickets, ranging from $35 to $100, are available through Ticketmaster.
In addition to the concert, the Dose of Fun event will include a patrons’ party in the Uptown Valentine Room at 5:30 p.m. prior to the concert. The patrons’ party will feature a barbeque dinner, a host bar and live music. Patron tickets cost $150 and are available by calling Kansas City’s Medicine Cabinet at 816.276.7555. In addition to the evening of music and fun, patron tickets include reserved parking, reserved balcony seating and a $75 donation to Kansas City’s Medicine Cabinet. This pioneering medical assistance program has provided nearly $6 million in services since its inception in 2005.
Dose of Fun event sponsorships also are available by calling the Medicine Cabinet.
