'''''Somewhere to Elsewhere''''' is the fourteenth studio album by American [[rock music|rock]] band [[Kansas (band)|Kansas]], released in 2000. It is Kansas' first album to feature the band's original lineup (though they never were actually all together in the studio during the recording sessions) since 1980's ''[[Audio-Visions]]'', along with [[Billy Greer]], who joined the band in 1985. [[Steve Walsh (musician)|Steve Walsh]] tracked vocals in his home studio while working on his second solo album ''[[Glossolalia (album)|Glossolalia]]'' and did not join the rest of the band at [[Kerry Livgren]]'s studio. His contribution were solely vocals. Livgren composed all of the album's tracks, and the hidden track "Geodesic Dome" is his first and only lead vocal on a Kansas song. ''Somewhere to Elsewhere'' is Kansas' last studio album to feature both [[Robby Steinhardt]], who left the band in 2006 and died in 2021, and Steve Walsh, who left the band in 2014.
