Mike Bourne Brings the Spirit of Kansas City to Life with New Album Kansas City O’Clock
Release Date: October 31, 2025

From the House of Blues to the International Jazz and Blues Festival in Manila and countless stages in between Mike Bourne has spent more than two decades captivating audiences around the world with his signature style of jump blues, blues, and roots music.

Inspired by icons such as Louis Jordan and T-Bone Walker, Bourne began his musical journey at 22 and turned professional by 25. His impressive career has seen him record and perform with legendary artists including Otis Rush, Sam Lay, and Barrelhouse Chuck, among others.

After long residencies in Chicago and Atlanta, Bourne has returned to his hometown of Kansas City, joining forces with a stellar lineup of top-tier musicians. Their electrifying live shows have reignited the city’s vibrant blues scene, earning praise for their energy and authenticity.

Set for release on October 31, 2025, Bourne’s new album, Kansas City O’Clock, builds on the energy and originality of his 2023 Blue Heart Records release, Kansas City Cruisin’. The record is a jubilant celebration of Kansas City’s deep musical roots, featuring 12 original tracks and two classic covers, all delivered with the city’s trademark swing, soul, and swagger.

With contributions from more than 20 outstanding musicians, Kansas City O’Clock captures the essence of a city that has shaped a century of American music from the fiery birth of jazz and blues to the early sparks of rock ’n’ roll.

As Bourne continues to honor the great traditions of Kansas City while pushing them forward with fresh creativity, one thing is clear: the clock strikes Kansas City O’Clock, and the groove is right on time.
