Saddle up — 515 Music Hub is bringing the Silver Screen to Southwest Boulevard. This Fourth of July weekend, trade the fireworks for fiddles and two-step your way into summer with a full evening of country swing, Western flair, and pure Kansas City fun.

Hot Strings kick off the night from 5–6:30 PM, setting the stage for the main event: 3 Trails West, a family-friendly show band drawing from the Silver Screen cowboy era and Bob Wills–style Western swing. A tight vocal trio and rhythm section backed by a full "Cowboy Orchestra" — accordion, fiddle, steel guitar, the works — 3TW is as much a spectacle as it is a concert. They're known for sharp humor, crowd interaction, and rhinestone-level stage presence. (Rumor has it they spend as much on wardrobe as they make. Come see for yourself.)

All ages welcome. Come ready to hoot 'n' holler.
