Kim Massie and Peter Martin in Concert

On December 6th, 2013, Arch City Radio Hour held our first concert in the community room at UMSL at Grand Center, home of St. Louis Public Radio.  We wanted to see what would happen when two St. Louis-based musical luminaries met and performed together for the very first time ever.  Pianist Peter Martin and vocalist Kim Massie agreed to take part in this live musical experiement, and the results are amazing.  Kim Massie also sat down with Nick Garcia to talk about her life and her life in music.   So listen for yourself and see if you aren't pleased with the results.

 
Special thanks to Nikki Franklin of Talent Plus, Dan Martin of Peter Martin Music and Phil Donato for helping us put this show together, and to Kim and Peter for sharing their musical gifts.
