Rooted in 18th & Vine
The music has history here.
18th & Vine is a landmark of Black community, Kansas City jazz, and Negro Leagues baseball. Its clubs and businesses helped shape a cultural legacy that continues today. KC Juke House joined that story in April 2008 at 1700 E. 18th Street. Now Live on the Vine brings new voices, live art, and a weekly reason to gather in this historic district.
