Country Stampede at the Heartland is an outdoor music festival featuring country music stars, camping, and more in Topeka, Kansas at Heartland Motorsports Park, held annually since 1996. Due to flooding concerns, the event moved to its current location from Manhattan, KS in 2019.

===

For its first full day, the heat index was in the triple-digits, but fans were still enthusiastic and eager for live music and the collective social gathering that a festival is.

Georgia native Lily Rose opened the afternoon with her blend of vulnerable lyrics and R&B leanings, highlighted by a Keith Urban cover and her breakout hit, “Villian”.

Kansas native Jerrod Neimann returned to his home state, a veteran of the festival having seen the first five as a fan and playing a previous 7 or 8 times. “Yellow Brick Road” was sung in honor of his home state, the country rap of “Donkey” returned to his setlist, and Hank Jr., Jimmy Buffett and Alabama covers ended his set.

North Carolina favorites Parmalee played their many radio hits along with a bevy of covers- Usher, Lizzo, The Killers, The Kid Leroi and Train versions were peppered in, along with a quick “Happy Birthday” to two separate fans up front.

A smart booking over a year in advance brought Mobile, AL native Walker Hayes in, to close the evening.

The biggest country song of 2021 and early 2022 was his viral TikTok dance smash, “Fancy Like” before which he revealed he received an Applebee’s Gold Card to always eat at the chain for free, and also brought out a little extra younger help to do the “Oreo Shake” with.

New single, “Y’all Life” had just dropped earlier that day and is already climbing the charts.

We♥KC - December 16-31, 2021 Upcoming Shows (Kansas City / Lawrence / Topeka KS)

12/16 Samantha Fish at The Truman 12/16 Gary Gulman at Madrid 12/16 Old Crow Medicine Show at Uptown Theater   12/18 Tommy Emmanuel at Arvest Bank Theatre 12/18 Making Movies at The Truman 12/17 Jackyl at Midland 12/23 Chevy Chase at Topeka Performing Arts Center Read More Gary Gulman I've previously been a fan of Gary Gulman's comedy album No Can Defend (the title is a reference to Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid), so I was more than happy to check out his latest release In This Economy?, which came out late October on New Wave Dynamics. ...

Read more Kansas City Music Guide.

As expected, the month of December winds down as the end of the month approaches, but the weather has generally been above average and there’s still a handful of shows to celebrate the season with, in the Kansas City metro. 

Nearby Lawrence is mostly quiet, due to students gone for winter break and due to the ongoing pandemic, nothing too noteworthy is in the area for New Years Eve, so you’re on your own. 

More acts and venues are requiring proof of vaccination for entry and check their social pages before heading out, in case of some last-minute change of plans. Happy Holidays!

Here’s what’s happening in the area for the Second half of December:

Thursday December 16

Samantha Fish, The Truman, $25-$30.
Kansas City’s own rising Blues and Roots guitarist returns for a hometown show that should be all kinds of special.  Faster (on Rounder Records) is her seventh studio release and even features fellow KC breakout star Tech N9ne on a track suitably called “Loud”. 

Gary Gulman, Madrid. $25-$35
The veteran 6’ 6” comedian returns to live stand-up on the heels of a highly acclaimed 2019 HBO special, in which he opened up about his depression and anxiety issues, and fun fact, had a small role in the recent Joaquin PhoenixJoker film.

Old Crow Medicine Show and Molly Tuttle (90.9 The Bridge's Xmas Show), Uptown Theater, $35-$75.
The Nashville-based string band has a new album called Paint This Town coming soon on ATO Records, so expect a preview of some of those songs and the night is a treat for all Americana and Bluegrass fans, with Tuttle, a California banjo/guitar player opening, who collaborated earlier this year with Bela Fleck on song, “My Bluegrass Heart”.

Friday December 17

Jackyl Family Reunion, Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland. $17-$22
Jessie James Dupree and friends return to where they filmed a similar Dec 2019 concert for home video/CD release, out last year.  Last time they brought special guest Daryl (DMc) McDanielout for a few Run-DMC classics and while that isn’t scheduled, a roaring chainsaw and holiday debauchery will be present, as usual.

Saturday December 18

Tommy Emmanuel with Andy McKee, Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland. $35-$65
A rare chance to see two of the finest acoustic guitarists playing today – 66 year-old Australian Emmanuelhad two records out this year, Imagine and Live from the Balboa Theatre (on CGP) while McKee grew up in nearby Topeka and released his Symbol EP after a series of virtual Facebook Live weekly concerts to stay busy during lockdown.

Making Movies (covering Radiohead’s Kid A), The Truman. $25-$40
Everything’s In Its Right Place as the area’s premier Afro Latino/Psych rock band take on Radiohead’s seminal 2000 album.  Blvck Hippie and The Republic Tigers are scheduled as support. 

The Floozies, Uptown. $25-$45
Lawrence-based party band led by brothers Mark and Matt Hill bring their blend of electronica and funk and have a holiday-related album, Miracle on Funk Street, out now to celebrate the season with good vibes.

Walker Hayes, MO Country- Grain Valley (long sold out)
Without a doubt, Hayes’ TikTok dance craze /musical advert for Applebees single, “Fancy Like” has been the breakout song of the fall, and fans were quick to snap up tix to see him in this relatively small venue.  Full album is out early next year, and he’s already been confirmed for Country Stampede in Topeka in summer 2022. 

Impractical Jokers, T-Mobile Center. CANCELED

Sunday December 19
LeAnn Rimes, Uptown, CANCELED
UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances this show has been canceled.

Thursday December 23


Chevy Chase, Xmas Vacation screening / Q+A, Topeka Performing Arts Center, $49-$250
Just two days before Christmas, legendary comedian Chase heads to Topeka (??) for a Q+A and screening of modern classic Christmas Vacation.  VIP packages are available, but due to the pandemic, up close photos/meet-and-greets are not guaranteed, though reports of Chase working a chicken restaurant’s drive-thru before a recent South Carolina show, shows he’s not afraid of much.

Reaper, Encore Room at the Uptown,CANCELED

Tuesday December 28

Jeff Dunham, T-Mobile Center. $50.50
Who would have thought a ventriloquist/puppeteer could fill an arena, but veteran Dunham brings his Vegas show and puppets a bit closer (and probably cheaper) including fan favorite, the grumpy curmudgeon, Walter.

Thursday December 29

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (two shows), T-Mobile Center, $46-$97.
Speaking of arena-filling acts, this pioneering symphonic/prog metal group plays not one but two shows celebrating twenty-five years since their 1996 debut, Christmas Eve and Other Stories.  Growing out of a collaboration between late producer/arranger Paul O’Neill and members of Savatage, the project’s success is truly phenomenal, having started playing arenas and selling more than ten million tickets and albums over the years.

I ran into some Gary Numan fans at the recent John Carpenter show and they were talking about how much they love Numan.

This Brooklyn-based nine-piece Turkuaz is headlining the Cabooze in Minneapolis this Wednesday.

Show up early to check out soul-inspired band The Suffers. We previously caught them in 2015 and wrote, “Make Some Room is not only the title of the recent EP from The Suffers (on Rhyme and Reason Records), but was also the edict as the band and venue’s personnel tried to clear enough stage space for all ten members. With percussionists and guitarists wedged in back, and the horn section, keys and bass up front, the band managed to make it work and make the audience work a little too, during their hour-long set.”

Show up early to check out New York’s Charly Bliss. Their debut Soft Serve EP will be reissued on vinyl in November via Barsuk Records.

We previously caught Charly Bliss at July 2015 and May 2012 and wrote, “Hendricks and band came out charging for their forty-five minute set, with the opening ‘Percolator’, she vocally kickboxing into the song with a girlish, slightly squeaky vocal, instead of actually kickboxing as she does in the music video of the song.”
