The Green Guitar Folk House Presents:
Thunderstorm Artis
Saturday, May 24th, 2025 at 7 p.m.
Soaring vocals meet dextrous, layered guitar and intimate storytelling that can evoke the poetic lyricism of Passenger in one song before sliding into the wrenching neo-soul of Leon Bridges in another.
Artis was born and raised in a large musical family on the North Shore of Oahu, and it’s easy to find the laid-back vibe of island life effortlessly blended with the real life experiences that inspire his music. As a Season 18 finalist on The Voice, Artis wowed audiences with both his original compositions, including quiet acoustic track “Sedona,” and loving reinterpretations of songs by artists like The Beatles and Louis Armstrong, with John Legend describing his tone as “magical” and Billboard praising his “earnest, uplifting presence.”
Artis has played alongside modern icons Jack Johnson and Train, and The Zac Brown Band, as well as toured extensively with his brother, Ron Artis II. He’s also was a featured artist at Bottlerock Music Festival.

Where is the Green Guitar Folk House?
Green Guitar Folk House is located in old downtown Lenexa, Kansas. The shows are sponsored by Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universalist Church (SMUUCh), held in its sanctuary. The entrance is right next to the railroad tracks.
Look for the old elementary school! The sanctuary is a beautifully converted, former school gymnasium. Although our venue is sponsored by SMUUCh, this is not a church event.
The series is open to the public. ALL AGES are welcome to attend.
