Friday is the newest musical sensation to earn the attention of fans, friends, and family throughout the Music House community. When it comes to music lessons for kids in Overland Park, this seven-piece shows the true benefits of collaboration. What we know for sure is that Friday loves wordplay, and they sat down to tell us a bit about how it all came to be.
