Featured collection

One career, gathered as a story.

The homepage opens with the idea already present in the current artist direction: the career is not only a catalog, it is a collection of stories. From Kansas to Mastedon, from producer rooms to solo records, the music works best when listeners can hear the thread running through it.

That thread carries the experience from the first screen forward. Start with the classic rock legacy, move into the faith and family stories, listen through the albums, watch the videos, or go straight to the store.

Story paths

Built around stories, not menu labels.

Every path follows a thread through the music: where it began, why it matters, how it changes, how it was built, and why it still lasts.

A voice steps forward

Stories That Begin

The opening path starts with family music, a move west, and the 1981 Kansas audition that placed John Elefante on one of rock's biggest stages. It gives longtime Kansas fans an immediate doorway into the larger story.

Featured story

This Time

This Time belongs inside Stories That Make a Difference because it shows what makes the catalog more than music. It is a family story, a testimony, and a bridge between song and conviction.

The path opens a reverent entrance into the story, connects directly to the video, and points toward the coverage that shows why the song continues to matter.

01

One family. One decision. One song that still asks listeners to pay attention.

The song carries the feeling of a life that almost never reached the world, then turns that story into gratitude, witness, and hope.

Music journey

Albums as chapters.

Each record opens an emotional entry point, then leads listeners into the fuller music guide.

Legacy snapshot

The voice is only the first chapter.

The redesigned homepage makes the biography easier to follow by organizing it as a story arc. Kansas introduces the voice. Mastedon shows the creative risk. Pakaderm and Sound Kitchen reveal the builder. The solo albums bring the heart of the story forward.

That structure gives fans a clean path whether they arrive from classic rock, Christian music, album collecting, YouTube, or the adoption story behind This Time.
