Mikal Shapiro

Mikal Shapiro is a Kansas City singer-songwriter-musician who grew up in suburban Johnson county and remembers never quite fitting in. Her mom studied occult science by mail, and her dad was known for telling extravagant tales. Mikal released her fourth full length album The Musical in April 2015. We’ll dive into her past and how it’s shaped her 20-year musical career. Your Musical Forecast | May 5 - May 18Mikal Shapiro LiveMay 12 | 7-10 p.m | Jazz Louisiana Kitchen | 1823 West 39th Street, Kansas City, MissouriCatch Mikal Shapiro at her first show back in KC after a long Midwest tour.
