Kansas City/Lawrence area music archivist; all genres, mostly late 1970s to today

Some current projects: @analogkc and @compactedkc on Instagram; the KC Punk Archive on Bandcamp.

This account is for physical media only. Digital collection has been relocated to gregorystitt.mp3.

Present or onetime Kansas City area folks: I'd like to document as many artists/releases from the KC/Lawrence region as possible. If you can help with anything I'm missing, get in touch! There's an extensive list of things both on my wantlist and below (currently not in the db) for which I am still searching – contact me here or riotontheplaza [at] gmail.com if you have anything. There's many things I'm looking for not listed, across all genres and formats.
TLDR; please reach out if you have KC music I'm looking for or don't have.

A few KC/LFK locavore Discogs lists I've compiled for posterity:
•The ever-growing (2,000-plus) Artists from greater Kansas City list.
•The 100-plus Labels from greater Kansas City list.
•The 40-plus Music venues from greater Kansas City list.
•The 150-plus Recording studios from greater Kansas City list.

At this link you may find a (pretty infrequently updated) list of all of the digital/ripped releases I have from the greater Kansas City region, including the outlying regions of Topeka, Wichita, Manhattan, Warrensburg, Springfield, and Columbia. Get in touch if a trade strikes your fancy.

Other folks involved in archiving music from Kansas or Missouri (probably missing some):
