BYOBrass

BYOBrass is a high-energy brass band consisting of a motley crew of dudes from the University of Northern Iowa. Playing music in styles ranging from funk, pop, R&B, Americana, jazz and techno, the band brings sassy and brassy fun to the stage. Established in 2017.

Cedar County Cobras

Cedar County Cobras arrive with a collection of instruments to play boot-stompin' music that can only be found down the gravel roads of Iowa. Often seen as a duo or a trio, the music has been described as contagious, acoustic rockabilly, dancing bluegrass, or brand new 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.
Dates: July 6
