Cedar County Cobras - American Roots & Blues

2025 • 1712 Pennsylvania Avenue

4:00 to 5:00pm

Cedar County Cobras play American Roots & 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.


Arriving with an upright bass, foot-drum, a mandolin, and a collection of guitars, this duo plays music that is best described as contagious, acoustic rockabilly swamp blues, or old-time country with the gritty sound of soulful blues!


Located in Iowa, Tom Spielbauer is the singer/songwriter for the duo and is known for his rich baritone vocals and playing slide guitar. His music partner, April Dirks, plays the boogie-blues on the upright bass.


The Cobras have played hundreds of shows across Iowa from the local brewery to large festival stages, winning the solo/duo category for the Iowa Blues Challenge and placing as semi-finalists at the 2025 International Blues Festival in Memphis.
