The Dear Misses
Hometown: Kansas City, Missouri

Bursting out of KC’s vibrant indie scene, The Dear Misses blend raw emotion with uncanny melody to create music that lingers long after the last chord fades. With a sound rooted in alternative rock and indie grit, their songs ride the space between heartbreak and hopeful defiance, weaving intricate lyrics through moody guitar lines and anthemic crescendos.

Formed by a group of friends bound by shared histories and restless creativity, The Dear Misses have honed their artistry through hundreds of late-night jams, basement shows, and local stages. Their live performances are visceral: intimate yet explosive, honest but electrifying, and always leaving the crowd wanting more.

Whether it’s their latest single “Kansas City” or a more introspective track, The Dear Misses write for the listeners who search for truth in the small things—those who feel deeply, think sharply, and demand music with soul. They aren’t just part of Kansas City’s soundscape—they’re shaping it.
