PLAYLISTS: Iowa Stock 2017 Spotify Playlist

Sorry this is so late. Family matters kept me from working on my side project, this website.

This week is, I hope, the first of numerous playlists featuring acts from the Iowa Stock music festival going down this Labor Day weekend.

UPDATE 12 Aug 2017 - Iowa Stock has announced that it will have to cut back on some of the acts - http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/08/10/really-believe-after-few-calls-and-emails-still-going-solid-event-even-if-im-not-one-bring-home/555560001/. So with that being said, I won't be doing any more playlists since I'm not sure who will be playing.

If you haven't heard, for 4 days, in St Charles, you will be able to check all Iowa music acts from various genres on various stages. You can check out all the details here - https://iowastock.com/

But basically, this is the kind of music festival that Iowa Music Showcase would put on if we had the money and the time. Kind of like a gigantic version of Iowa Music Showcase Live, the show we did back in February.

So I put together a playlist featuring all the Iowa Stock acts that I could find on Spotify. If I missed anyone, please let me know!

"Iowa might not be the first place that comes to mind when music fans think of classic soul and rock and roll, but that might change once they hear The Maytags."
- from Waylon Sternhagen in the the Iowa State Daily article "Shining bright: The Maytags release 'Nova""

"Detroit. Memphis. Philly. These are the cities that are usually affiliated with soul music. But soul comes with all kinds of accents, Midwestern ones included. And in Des Moines, Dustin Smith and his band, The Maytags, are making a brand of soul that’s all their own."
- from their BandCamp page

"The members of the Maytags — Dustin Smith, Andy Poppen, Tim Sanders, Nick Leo, Ben Chappell, Daniel Kreipke, Sam Mogerman — have been playing together off-and-on, in various iterations, for years, and you can tell...

"The Maytags are known for a new spin on soul, or as their website says, 'making a brand of soul that’s all their own.' Smith attributes that to a sense of freedom he finds in playing soul and jazz in the Midwest. 'I spent some time out in New York,' he says. 'I went to school out there and studied music … Being in Des Moines, and being in Iowa in general, there’s a sense of having an open canvas … not bound to as many expectations.'"
- from Genevieve Heinrich in the Little Village article "The Maytags finally make it to Iowa City"

IMSC Ep 17 - Song 5: "Anthem" by The Maytags (Brian Campos's dedication)

Brian Campos is the host of the Pants Off podcast and occasional fill-in co-host of the Critical Mass radio show on KFMG.

"Joe has always been very kind to me. While, he is a mostly reserved guy, he also has a very witty and funny side when he let's it come out. I've never heard him say anything bad about anyone. His unbiased and good natured reporting will be missed in Des Moines' music journalism."
- from Brian Campos for this podcast/blog

"The Des Moines music scene is a beast and is growing exponentially every day. The groundwork that has been done over the last decade is critical in securing our scene's future. Joe Lawler has made a huge foot print on that. Thanks Joe."
- from Dustin Smith of The Maytags for this podcast/blog
