JAZZMAN JOE VIDEOS: Mississippi Jake and The Bootlegger's Orchestra at The Whiskey House in Ankeny, Iowa, on Apr 6, 2018





"Mississippi Jake is storytelling, working class, folk music from the Midwest. Not the kind of folk that lulls you to sleep, the kind with teeth...

"Mississippi Jake brings folklore from the hills of the Ozarks to the Midwestern stage. He tells fact and fiction with honest guitar chords and gravel in his voice. Solo or alongside his Bootleggers Orchestra, Mississippi Jake showcases one-of-a-kind folk with teeth."
- from his Facebook page

"Mississippi Jake and the Bootleggers Orchestra are working to bring folk music back to where its roots originated. Telling stories of the common person, hard lives, lost love, travel, vices, and adventure are at the core of the songwriting for the five piece band from the Midwest. Modern music has a focus that is fairy tale and fantasy but run from the raw issues that most people deal with on a daily basis. The aggression and victories felt by most are being expressed by Mississippi Jake and the Bootleggers Orchestra in bars and street corners throughout the Midwest."
- from the Mississippi Jake and The Bootlegger's Orchestra's home page

YOUR OWN PRIVATE IOWA - Episode 28: T&A





This last week T&A joined me in the studio. It was such a fun show. We read from Weird Al Trading Cards, they played a bunch of covers, I had my Terot read and they finished the set with a song they wrote the day before! This little Marshalltown band is something special.

This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm All Recordings done by Jonathan Free in the Studio at [88.5 KURE Ames Alternative]

YOUR OWN PRIVATE IOWA is a podcast produced and hosted by Richard Sutton. We feature any new episodes the Wednesday after they were recorded.

IHEARIC VIDEOS - Three Classical Pieces: Flute, Horn, and Violin







This week, we basically present three pieces of classical music. One on flute by Madeline Walker. One on horn by Drew Phillips. And one on violin and electronics by Megan Karls.

CULTURE MYTH - Day 4: Albuquerque and Santa Fe

Written by Chad Taylor. Originally appeared on the Culture Myth website on March 22, 2016.




We haven't even gotten the New Tour Smell out of our clothes yet, and Sara Routh and Rae Davis already find themselves in the middle of the longest, hardest stretch of the whole thing.

Leaving Omaha on the morning of day three, they drive eight hours to Oklahoma City for a show that night, then pile right back into the car for another seven hours of driving to Santa Fe where they grab a few hours sleep before playing an afternoon show in Albuquerque, followed by an evening house show back in Santa Fe.

Everything after this is cake.

PLAYLISTS: The Uncertainty Music Festival 2018






Today, we present to you four playlists - from YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Spotify - featuring artists who will be appearing at the Uncertainty Festival in Ames, IA, from Thurs, Apr 19, to Sat, Apr 21. For more information, you can go to http://www.novalabs.info/uncertainty-festival-2018/.

It's a fairly eclectic collection of blues, electronic music, folk music, indie music, among other genres. So have a listen, and if it sounds good, drop by Ames and check out the bands live!

"It’s just the second year for the Uncertainty Festival, but the music event has already grown to a three-day affair rather than two. The downtown Ames music fest will be held Thursday, April 19, through Saturday, April 21, and will include four showcases of talent, two of which will offer free admission.

"With a hint of a science theme, the Uncertainty Festival will have three parts: Particle, Wave and Light...

"Dudley said he’s excited by the growth of the Uncertainty Festival’s second year and hopes to expand it even further next year. 'It’s been an amazing experience,” he said. “This year we have all-Iowa performers. We feel like we have some of the greatest bands in the state.'”
