July 1
NOLA
The NOLA Jazz Band started playing regularly in March 2015. In only a few short years their "gutsy and heartfelt" New Orleans Jazz stylings has earned them a nationwide fan base. Band members also include Iowa Music Hall of Famers (Jazz AND Rock & Roll).

July 8
Cedar County Cobras
Cedar County Cobras play American roots and blues music from the last century. The music takes on an "old time" blues feel that would most likely be found in a juke-joint down a gravel road in rural Iowa. All members of the project are multi-instrumentalists and play a number of different instruments during each live performance. The music has been described as contagious, acoustic rockabilly, dancing bluegrass, or old-time country with the gritty sound of soulful blues. It is almost impossible to box the sound of the Cobras into one musical genre when you hear an eclectic mix of acoustic blues and gypsy mandolin tunes that can only be heard in the Cobra songs.
July 15
Jake Simon
Jake Simon has always been moved by music in a way that most people aren't. He's into the songwriting aspect of music. He played sports growing up and when he realized that that part of his life was over, he gravitated towards music. His biggest influences are Kip Moore, and Dierks Bentley.
July 22
Courtney Krause
Courtney Krause's thought-provoking style of writing not only encompasses the longing heart of a singer/songwriter, but also speaks to the varieties of circumstances faced in relationships, communication, and honesty. Taking a captivating approach to Americana, her music is modernizing classic country, folk, and sultry soul in songs where both sides of the story are told.
July 29
Dickie
Dickie's 2015 self-titled release was a moody testimonial of singer-songwriter Dick Prall. Prall took a succession of personal losses and nestled them inside a beautifully layered soundtrack that found Dickie on the top of several "Best of" lists that year. 2019 found Prall in a nostalgic headspace, partnering with talented drummer/multi-instrumentalist Billy Barton to produce a stripped-back mix of reflective and pulsating sing-alongs in the latest release, Minus Thieves.
August 5
Bruce & Parks
After years of independently hawking their original songs at venues across the country, Josh Parks Davis and Adam Bruce Bartelt were looking for a new gig a little closer to home. Thinking they could make a quick buck playing at loud bars to disinterested crowds, the two joined forces as Bruce & Parks, bringing their irreverent brand of country-country to the masses. What started as thankless cover gigs (only accepting requests scrawled across a $20 bill…) quickly developed into a full-fledged creative enterprise of more thankless cover gigs that paid better. Now working on their debut album, Bruce & Parks are still making the rounds at those loud bars. Come on out to see them (and don't forget those greenbacks).
August 12
Kevin Burt
For nearly 3 decades, Kevin Burt, Iowa Blues Hall of Fame member (class of 2019), has been mesmerizing audiences with his powerfully smooth and soulful vocals. Paired with his unique harmonica and guitar presentation along with his quick wit, Burt engages with his audience touching their souls while tickling their funny bones.
August 19

It all began with The Echo's Five: "We played at popular places like The Clique, The Place, The Mousetrap, The Val Air Ballroom, the original Roof Garden Ballroom at Lake Okoboji and TeenTown at the Iowa State Fairgrounds."

September 30
Tony Bohnenkamp
Tony's personal songwriting style draws inspiration from an assortment of musicians, "especially artists that fill the spectrum of sound to the brim." He does this in his own way on Side 2 by quickly enticing the listener by weaving hook-laden melodies with commanding vocals that seep in and out of rocking arrangements. Tony has an appreciation for many different instruments, and likes to infuse his music with those not normally used in the rock/pop genre, which is apparent on the album when appearances are made by a banjo, dobro, pedal steel, sleigh bells, and even some auto-tune.
