While the Kranzberg Arts Foundation Music Artists-in-Residence typically share their talents on stage for audiences across St. Louis, the spread of COVID-19 has prevented such from happening for at least several weeks. As many of us are practicing social distancing with perhaps a surplus of time on our hands, it’s a great time to discover new sounds and support local musicians who have lost gigs.
Below is a list of the our current and past music artists-in-residence. We encourage you to follow them on social media and purchase or stream their music. If you find something you like, share it with a friend.
