With a legendary career spanning over five decades, KANSAS has cemented its status as one of America’s most iconic classic rock bands. Hailing from Topeka, this once-local “garage band” burst onto the scene in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, a music executive with Don Kirshner. Since then, KANSAS has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and built a legacy that few can match.

Their impressive catalog includes sixteen studio albums and five live albums, earning them eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), and a platinum live album (Two for the Show). Their timeless hits have earned them massive radio play, including the quadruple-Platinum single “Carry On Wayward Son” and the triple-Platinum hit “Dust in the Wind.”

Throughout the 1970s and ’80s, KANSAS spent more than 200 weeks on the Billboard charts, performing to sold-out arenas across North America, Europe, and Japan. Today, “Carry On Wayward Son” remains one of the top five most-played songs on classic rock radio, while “Dust in the Wind” has been played over three million times—a testament to the enduring power of their music.
