Shooting Star

Shooting Star at Star Pavilion at Ameristar Casino and Hotel - Kansas City

Some songs arrive so polished they feel like they've always been there. Shooting Star wrote a catalog that slots into any classic rock playlist without announcement, delivering melody and momentum the moment the first notes appear. Last Chance, Hang On for Your Life, Flesh and Blood and Hollywood are reminders of how readily a Shooting Star melody can find its way back into your head.

The current band—Dennis Laffoon, Steve Thomas, Janet Jameson, Todd Pettygrove and Chet Galloway—brings the band's melodic rock to the stage. For longtime listeners, the draw is hearing the current lineup put its own energy behind music that made the band's name familiar. This is rock written to feel good immediately, performed by musicians who understand that directness matters.

Star Pavilion at Ameristar Casino and Hotel is the Kansas City stop for this concert. It's a chance to focus on Shooting Star's blend of strong melody and rock momentum, and to see how the current members carry that identity together onstage.

If the band's catalog already lives in your rotation, the concert offers a fresh encounter with a sound you know. And if you're newer to Shooting Star, melodic classic rock gives you a clear way in without homework. Either way, December brings the opportunity to hear rock that still moves the way it was designed to.

Shooting Star's melodic rock comes to Kansas City December 5; get tickets to hear the band live.
