If you live in Kansas City you are likely familiar with Jim Cosgrove, also known as Mr. Stinky Feet. For more than 25 years, he has delighted audiences throughout North America and Europe with his positivity and an energetic brand of family folk-rock. With nearly 5,000 performances in 38 states and six countries (including two appearances at the White House Easter Egg Roll), 10 award-winning albums, and millions of Spotify and YouTube streams, he’s become a reliable audience favorite.

Today, we talk with Jim about how he came to be Mr. Stinky Feet and his life before, his love of music origin and perspective on kids, unique locations he's performed in, what he loves most about his career, and much more.



Jim is the youngest of eight children and grew up in Brookside. After completing his journalism degree, he worked in the Navajo Nation in western New Mexico as a journalism teacher and driver of a school bus route. He was the town bingo caller! Jim later worked as a staff writer for the Albuquerque Journal, a media spokesman for a division of Sprint Corporation, and an editor for Hallmark Cards.

What We’re Loving In Kansas City
New Theater and Restaurant
Sarah and her husband enjoy going to the New Theatre and Restaurant in Overland Park! Enjoy dinner and drinks along with stage, film, and TV stars in Broadway comedies and musicals. New Theater produces five shows a year! A great idea for something a little different.
Ben Folds with the Kansas City Symphony
Megan and Chris are headed to see Ben Folds perform with the KC Symphony this month! The symphony has an entire pops series that will be featuring concerts that feature music by John Williams, soft rock hits of the '70s and '80s, and they also do film with live orchestra (think Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, and even Jaws). The Kaufman is just beautiful so if you haven't been, check out their concerts and add it to your list!
