The sextet from St. Joseph, Missouri played songs many of which are off their first officially released EP, <em>Illuminaughty<\/em>. They finished off the night with &#8220;Teenage Blue&#8221; a song they don&#8217;t usually play live even though it is probably their most popular song due to the high demand on Hopkin&#8217;s voice, but it was outright beautiful and left the crowd wishing for more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-57732 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0039-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Dreamgirl KC\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0039-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0039-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0039-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0039-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0039.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>t was certainly a magical and intimate experience;\u00a0The smaller venue and audience size of Tunes at Night compared to normal shows makes for a much more relaxed vibe which is stellar during a busy school week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dream Girl will be opening for Tennis at the RecordBar in Kansas City this Thursday.
