From country queens to rap legends, soulful icons to rising pop stars—Missouri has given us some serious musical talent, and in this episode, I’m taking you on a tour through the Show-Me State to highlight nine unforgettable artists who got their start there. I’ll share stories behind their music, what makes each of them stand out, and a few surprises along the way (did you know Missouri has two Music Walks of Fame?).
