ACCLAIMED TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF KANSAS & STYX
What does it take to perfect today’s most authentic tribute to American rock legends Kansas? For Know Return it starts with exceptional vocalists and instrumentalists, featuring a pro violinist. Add the passion and dedication to master a repertoire of challenging songs, from radio hits to prog masterworks. Then throw in the element of surprise: fun!
It's a recipe for a show like no other, a journey back to the music that captured hearts, souls and imaginations in the 70s and 80s — and won fans for life.
The band also celebrates the music of Styx from the glory days of classic rock. Wielding tightly crafted vocal harmonies and hook-heavy instrumental fireworks, the musicians faithfully perform the radio hits, ballads, arena anthems and epics that have been a soundtrack for generations.
Thank you Phoenixville!

"Know Return / Fooling Ourselves delivered an outstanding performance. Their musicianship is exceptional—tight, polished, and deeply respectful of the iconic Styx and Kansas catalog. Just as impressive was their professionalism: responsive communication, zero drama, and a crew that was genuinely easy and enjoyable to work with from load-in to load-out.
They were also proactive partners in promoting the show, helping us reach
enthusiastic fans and ultimately drawing a strong and appreciative audience. The crowd
response was terrific, with many patrons commenting on the band’s authenticity and energy.
We happily recommend them without hesitation."
