Info:
In 1970, Kerry Livgren and Phil Ehart combined their two separate bands (Saratoga and White Clover, respectively) into The Kansas Band -- which also included vocalists Lynn Meredith and Joel Warne, bassist Dave Hope, keyboardists Don Montre and Dan Wrifght, and saxophonist Larry Baker. Livgren and Ehart split the band up in 1971, however, and each pursued separate bands. Livgren and Meredith formed a new version of Kansas with Don Montre, Dan Wright, John Bolton, and two others, while Ehart reformed White Clover with bassist Dave Hope, guitarist Rich Williams, vocalist/songwriter Steve Walsh, and violinist Robby Steinhardt. Although his band recorded a demo tape in 1973, Ehart felt that White Clover needed a second songwriter to complement Walsh and invited Livgren to join the band; Livgren agreed. The band changed its name to Kansas, and was signed to Kirshner Records in 1974.
