The dawn of 2016, founding member and bassist Scout Matthews began planning rehearsals out of her garage for her and some musical friends and within a short time, Quite Frankly the Band was born & has been committed to perfecting its sound ever since. Writing their own original music and adding amazing covers from all their favorite artists that span multiple decades and genres– truly something for everyone!
This “gotta see” band is incredible, a band holding its own even when opening for national touring acts such as The Greeting Committee, The Darbies, John Corabi, The Jacks, Liliac and even LA Guns! The band members Jolson, Carolyn, Scout, Gavin & Eli have in just a few short years built a very impressive resume.
The band is best known in the Kansas City area for providing high energy, crazy-fun, crowd pleasing performances, gaining attention by being the youngest winners of the Nelson Atkins Battle of The Bands 2018 and for being nominated as Pitch's Best in KC three years in a row. They have played shows at favorite local venues such as Made in KC’s First Fridays in the Crossroads, Starlight Theater, The Rino, The KC Royals, Kansas University Athletics official Tailgates, The Record Bar, Lemonade Park, Plaza Art Fair, Camp Leavenworth & so many more. The band has also performed at Kauffman Stadium, appeared at Sprint Center with Big Slick choir and even Nashville & Chicago have come calling.

Some people really like us:
“The Quite Frankly Band is playing beyond their years. This is not a band of kids just playing and singing the right notes. They are legitimate performers and are a force to be reckoned with. I’m excited to be working with them. ”
“They are talented well beyond their years, whether re-creating the music of everyone from Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers and Stevie Wonder to Fugazi and Weezer or showing off their own polished, well-crafted songwriting chops. Beyond the flashy musicianship, their energy and enthusiasm will also impress you.”
“Working with Quite Frankly as their producer has been a highlight of the last few years! This group has all the grit and drive you’d want from a rock band, but with the levelheaded maturity you’d expect to find in a veteran group. They may be young, but Quite Frankly is rewriting the rulebook on American rock ‘n’ roll.”
“So many times I hear people say ‘you have to come to see this young band!’ I would challenge anyone looking to book a band with this... ‘You Have to come to see THIS BAND!’ You will NOT be disappointed.”
““Truly a first-rate show. The band sounded amazing, was totally professional, and had the crowd literally enraptured. This is the second show we’ve booked for a high school dance with QF, and we will absolutely book them again. The thought of going back to school dances with a DJ is laughable after seeing what a fantastic time everyone had with a live band.” ”
