Evening of Note 2026 | Heartland Men's Chorus Kansas City

Love Out Loud: Evening of Note 2026

Saturday | February 14, 2026 | 6 p.m.

The Uptown Theater Kansas City

Love is loud. And on Valentine's Day, we're turning up the volume.

Heartland Men's Chorus Kansas City is throwing the queer event of the season — think great cocktails, incredible food, and a night you won't forget.

Rhys Nicholson is bringing their wickedly funny, brilliantly sharp energy to our stage. If you know, you know. If you don't, prepare to become a fan.

THE LINEUP

The HeartAches — our small ensemble that's basically vocal perfection meets playful comedy — will also be serving laughs, and those harmonies that give you chills.

Holding it down all night

Jason Bowen is a performer you've probably seen; you just don't know it. He can be found touring all over the world hosting and performing, with work spanning live television, commercials, national parades, and large-scale corporate and nonprofit events. Jason has served as Cruise Director and Master of Ceremonies in the Mediterranean aboard the Norwegian Jade, and completed a two-year national tour with Murray & Peter Present: The Golden Girls. As a theatrically trained performer, he is most often found in front of live audiences, managing the energy, the timing, and the moment. IG:The.Jason.Bowen
