Somewhere to Elsewhere is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Kansas, released in 2000. This album marks the reunion of the band's original 1970s lineup since 1980's Audio-Visions, along with Billy Greer, who joined Kansas with Power. Steve Walsh, in what proved to be his last studio album with the band before his departure in 2014, tracked vocals in his home studio while working on his second solo 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 sang (which he did not normally do) on the hidden track "Geodesic Dome". The album is the last one to feature Robby Steinhardt before his death in 2021.
