Kansas Coffee For A Cause
Phil Ehart of Kansas hails from Coffeyville, Kansas. He teamed up with Coffeyville Coffee to release “Carry On Wayward Son” coffee. This is Kansas coffee for a cause. Proceeds ($4 for every sale) from the “Carry On Wayward Son” coffee raise money to refurbish the Midland Theater in Coffeyville. I love this. In my opinion, taking care of his hometown and a place that means something to Phil and the community is fantastic. It’s happening in Kansas, but it gives me Michigan feels.
Ehart Talks Kansas Coffee For a Cause
Phil said, “‘Carry On Wayward Son’ became our breakout hit after years of playing small-town venues – like the grand old Midland Theater in my hometown of Coffeyville. That is why profits from this coffee will be contributed to refurbish and sustain this magnificent theater. Thank you for joining me in this effort. I hope Wayward Son coffee helps you to carry on.”

I love blending two of my favorite loves: coffee and rock and roll. Phil Ehart of Kansas is not the only one with a coffee brand. Read on to find out more rock stars with their own coffee!
6 Rock Stars Who've Had Their Own Coffee Brand
Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy is the latest to join rock stars with a coffee brand. Stephen is a well-known coffee lover and is releasing a line of signature coffees in partnership with the Writers & Rockers Coffee Company. The coffee blends include “Round and Round,” “Hollywood Wired,” and “Ultra Nitro.” Stephen came to play.
I love coffee and rock and roll, so rock stars with a coffee brand have a piece of cake, built-in audience with me. I’m always curious to check out rock star sponsored products be it coffee, hot sauce, or anywhere in between. Steven Tyler should have a line of scarves. Ted Nugent should have a cookbook for game and fish… oh wait, he does… Kill it & Grill It.

I read about Stephen Pearcy’s coffee and I thought, “Alice Cooper should have his own coffee. A cup of “Black Widow” or “Black Juju” sounds delicious.” Turns out Alice doesn’t have his own coffee, but he does have an “Official Alice Cooper single origin African Brundi AA Specialty Coffee” by Cat Fight Coffee. I’m not sure how that works… I would rather have a cup of Black Widow, but it got me thinking:
