Pastor Alice has been in the trenches in the community for several years DOING THE WORK! So today\, we give her flowers. \n  \nPop-Up: 5:30 PM | Doors: 6:30 PM | Show: 7:00 PM \n  \n\n  \nArtist Bio\nSosha Oshaye\nSosha Oshaye is a soulful R&B artist whose sound bridges the richness of classic soul with the edge of contemporary urban music. Rooted in gospel\, blues\, and traditional R&B\, her voice carries both emotional depth and modern versatility—effortlessly moving between intimate ballads\, high-energy anthems\, and messages of empowerment. \nBorn Sonya Oshaye Anders and raised in Kansas City\, Missouri\, Sosha’s musical foundation was shaped early by legends like Andre Crouch\, Walter Hawkins\, Chaka Khan\, Prince\, and Tina Turner\, alongside the powerful influence of church choir music. That blend of sacred and secular continues to define her signature sound. \nSosha first gained recognition in the Kansas City music scene as a standout vocalist with the collective Unit1\, where she honed her range across genres. She later stepped into her own spotlight\, forming the all-female group Soul’s Poem\, quickly building a strong local following and performing at notable venues in the historic 18th & Vine Jazz District\, including The Blue Room and The Gem Theater. \nDriven by growing fan demand\, Sosha launched her solo career with the single “Haters\,” which received radio airplay and set the stage for her debut album\, Heavy on My Mind. The project showcased her songwriting depth and artistic maturity\, blending R&B\, hip-hop\, jazz\, and funk into a cohesive and emotionally resonant body of work. \nWith a commitment to authenticity and artistic control\, Sosha Oshaye continues to evolve as an artist—expanding her reach through live performances across the U.S. and internationally\, including appearances such as the Durban Jazz Festival in South Africa. Her music reflects not only her influences\, but her vision: honest\, empowering\, and unmistakably her own.

SUMMARY:Nicki White
DESCRIPTION:Album Release Party\nJoin us for the album release of Nicki White’s Shadow Work in the Omnipresence of the Divine at YesWay Live. \nDoors: 6:00 PM | Show: 7:00 PM \n  \n\n  \nArtist Bio\nNicki White\nNicki White is a Kansas City–based singer-songwriter and genre-experimental artist whose music moves fluidly between soul\, pop\, country\, blues\, and meditative sound. Rooted in both songwriting and sonic exploration\, her work embraces emotional honesty\, raw texture\, and the beauty of imperfection. \nHer upcoming album\, Shadow Work in the Omnipresence of the Divine\, is a deeply personal\, home-recorded body of work that leans into stillness\, reflection\, and inner listening. Blending poetic vocals with guitar\, subtle natural elements\, singing bowls\, chimes\, wind\, flute\, handmade instruments—including a handmade didgeridoo— and more. The album creates an immersive soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Handmade instruments and select natural elements on the record were created with the help of Allan Winkler\, contributing to the album’s organic and exploratory tone. \nRather than polishing away flaws\, Nicki allows breath\, texture\, and imperfection to remain\, creating music that feels lived-in and present. Her songs invite listeners into a slower\, more intentional space—one rooted in healing\, reflection\, and connection to both self and the natural world. \nWhether performing solo or creating in quiet\, unconventional spaces\, Nicki White approaches music as both expression and offering—an invitation to feel\, to listen deeply\, and to return to what is already within.

SUMMARY:Ana Everling
DESCRIPTION:The Moldovan Mutation: From Ancestral Ritual to Soviet Censorship to Now\n“The Moldovan Mutation” – the music DNA of a land\, from ancestral ritual to soviet censorship to now. \nIn the “Moldavian Corridor\,” a geographical wedge trapped between the Latin West and the Eurasian Steppe\, music was never just art; it was a sonic blueprint of resistance. Drawing from authentic field recordings collected from Moldovan villages\, vocalist and visual artist Ana Everling tracks the forensic evolution of a sound that refused to be erased. Through raw audio samples and archival imagery\, this presentation deconstructs the journey of a forest-born culture as it collided with the nomadic “highway\,” endured the industrial grinding of Soviet censorship\, and weathered the identity crises of the modern era. We move from the primitive vibration of a fish scale to the complex\, asymmetrical rhythms of a resilient identity. \n
