2014 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of Kansas, the band’s debut album. To commemorate the occasion, the classic Kansas lineup reunited for the first time in more than 30 years at the place their incredible journey began: Topeka, Kansas. There, they relived the incredible untold story of one of the most successful American rock bands of their era.

Returning to monumental career landmarks in their hometown, as well as sharing untold memories ranging from touring to songwriting and recording, the band shares how the smash hit “Dust in the Wind” was just a passing comment away from never being recorded. Viewers will hear the band tell stories about recording in the studio next to John Lennon, a backstage fight with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, and how the words “free beer” changed their lives forever! MIRACLES OUT OF NOWHERE presents Kansas in a way they have never before been seen. Directed by Emmy-nominated Charley Randazzo, the documentary features interviews from legendary Queen guitarist and former tourmate Brian May, acclaimed producer Brendan O’Brien, Rolling Stone journalist David Wild, and more. Featured prominently is country icon Garth Brooks, who counts Kansas, alongside the Beatles and the Eagles, as one of his greatest inspirations. These extraordinary new insights are coupled with rare and unseen footage, including live performances and candid, fan-shot footage of the band on the road. MIRACLES OUT OF NOWHERE offers an unprecedented look at the incredible ascent of Kansas, a story that will appeal to new fans and veteran enthusiasts alike.
