HISTORICAL SKETCH

In 1979, Roger Naber started booking bands on the side while maintaining a day job for the

postal service in Kansas City. Attracting marquee performers to local venues such as the Lone

Star, the Uptown Theater, the National Guard Armory, Harling’s Upstairs and King Henry’s

Feast (later known as Parody Hall), he built a rapport with the music world and a reputation as a

hardworking promoter. In 1980, he co-founded the Kansas City Blues Society, galvanizing the

local music scene during twelve years as the organization’s president. His tenacity made him

one of Kansas City’s most respected promoters, but it was his genuine affinity for musicians that

brought success to places like the Grand Emporium.

Naber and business partner George Myers bought the Grand Emporium in July 1985,

transforming the erstwhile restaurant into a premier destination for live music. From show flyers

doubling as wallpaper to a jukebox stocked with old 45s to the makeshift kitchen where

“Amazing” Grace Harris served barbecue and soul food, the intimate midtown barroom offered

common ground for patron and performer. It was here musicians walked the bar during a guitar

solo or took the show outside to Main Street for a song; big name stars were known to drop by

for a slice of local flavor after playing bigger, more impersonal area venues; and local legends,

such as musician and dancer Speedy Huggins, were fixtures on the scene, cutting up the dance

floor and sitting in with bands.

Under the auspices of Naber, Myers (who died in 1998) and Herb Palmer (who joined the

business in 1989), the reputed nightclub hosted some 7,400 shows and consistently earned top

honors locally and nationally, including “Best Blues Club In America” in 1989 and 1991 from

the Blues Foundation in Memphis. In addition, the Foundation has recognized Naber

individually on multiple occasions. Though its calling card remained the blues, the Grand

Emporium peppered the calendar with everything from local bands to world beats, often boasting

live music seven nights a week.

The Grand Emporium was sold in 2004 amid much fanfare, culminating with a Memorial Day

blowout. Naber remains active as a promoter, from area concerts to music cruises with exotic

ports of call. In 2002, he launched the Legendary Rhythm And Blues Cruise, reviving a concept

Myers spearheaded in the 1990s under a similar name – the Ultimate Rhythm And Blues Cruise.

SCOPE AND CONTENT The Grand Emporium Collection chronicles from 1985-2004 the venerable Kansas City

nightclub at 3832 Main Street. Donated by Roger Naber, co-owner of the Grand Emporium

during this time, the collection inventory consisted of approximately 15,000 flyers, handbills,

and posters; 4,000 photographs, negatives, and slides; 2,000 sound recordings; 1,000 performer

press kits; 450 music contracts; and other assorted ephemera and memorabilia. Additional

material documents other promotional efforts undertaken by Naber, including the Kansas City

Blues & Jazz Festival, the Kansas City Blues Society, and bookings for other venues, some of

which predate his Grand Emporium days.

SERIES NOTES

Series I: Press Kits

Series I consists of performer press kits received and collected by Roger Naber for the Grand

Emporium and other promotional endeavors. Material includes performer biographies, music

press releases, and other promotional information packaged by the performer or representative

entity (such as a record company or agent). For preservation and classification purposes,

contracts, photographs and promotional posters were removed from press kits and are housed

separately (see Series II, Series VI and Series VII). Press kits are grouped by performer name

and contained in boxes 1-7.

Series II: Music Contracts

Series II consists of three groupings: (1) music contracts for performances at the Grand

Emporium, as well as for shows at other area venues and events negotiated by Roger Naber; (2)

music contracts for the Kansas City Blues & Jazz Festival; and (3) contracts with the

aforementioned festival’s sponsor, CommuniGroup of Kansas City, Inc (CGI). Music contracts

are grouped by performer name; contracts with CGI are filed at the end of the series. Contracts

are contained in boxes 8 and 9.

Series III: Office Records

Series III consists of miscellaneous business material regarding the Kansas City Blues Society,

the Kansas Blues & Jazz Festival, the Grand Emporium, and other organizational endeavors

undertaken by Roger Naber, along with publicity items and administrative records. Material

includes organization by-laws and directories, business cards, correspondence, distribution lists,

financial records, legal agreements (see Series II for performer contracts), meeting minutes,

newsletters, newspaper clippings, notes, receipts, reports, and festival information, including

maps and stage plots. Office records are grouped by subject and contained in boxes 10 and 11.

Series IV: Calendars

Series IV consists of Grand Emporium concert calendars from October 1986 through May 2004

(incomplete). Calendars are grouped by size, then by date; and contained in boxes 12 and 13.

One oversized calendar is housed separately.

Series V: Plaque Awards

Series V consists of plaque awards recognizing the Grand Emporium and/or Roger Naber for

outstanding achievement. Material is contained in box 14.




Series VI: Photographs

Series VI consists of publicity photographs, negatives, slides, snapshots and photocopies of

performers. Also included are pictures taken at the Grand Emporium. Additional images

document various non-Grand Emporium settings related to co-owners Roger Naber and George

Myers, including music cruises, concerts, and personal and miscellaneous photographs.

Photographs are contained in 50 boxes. One oversized photograph is housed separately.

Series VII: Flyers/Posters

Series VII consists of concert circulars and promotional posters. Paper flyers and paperboard

concert posters chronicle shows at the Grand Emporium between 1985 and 2004, but also

included are advertisements for non-Grand Emporium shows and events that Roger Naber

booked as an independent promoter between 1979 and 2004. Glossy and matte promotional

posters – stock templates distributed by a performer or representative entity that marketed the

performer in general and, in some cases, provided write-in space for a venue to advertise a local

show by the performer – were also collected by Naber during this period. Material is grouped by

size first and then broken down as follows: Grand Emporium shows are grouped by principal

performer and date, with secondary and opening acts noted; Grand Emporium shows with no

clear headliner are grouped by first performer listed, with other performers noted; special events

are grouped by date; non-Grand Emporium shows are grouped by venue name; promotional

posters are grouped by performer name. Items 12” x 18” and smaller are contained in 17 boxes.

Oversized material is housed separately.

Series VIII: Sound Recordings

Series VIII primarily consists of cassettes and compact discs received from perspective

performers and collected by promoter Roger Naber. Sound recordings (as well as a small

amount of other media formats, including DVD and VHS) are housed in the Marr Sound

Archives.

Addendum: Related Collections

Grand Emporium, as well as financial receipts and other material related to the Ultimate Rhythm

and Blues Cruise.

JENNIFER LEAPHEART COLLECTION: This collection consists of one box of flyers for

concerts in Kansas City, promotional music posters, and a concert calendar for the Grand
