            is a singer/songwriter from Fort Dodge, Iowa. Evan got into learning the guitar during 2020, teaching himself and finding peace in music. He began gigging in 2023, discovering a classic style through a fresh point of view.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           After playing shows for a few years, Evan is dialing back how often he plays live and is now spending his time working on an album while attending college. With a deep list of original songs and an ever-changing variety of covers, Evan always tries to bring something different to the table each time out. He offers a new, authentic sound from the perspective of an old soul.

            is a graduate of Drake University, where she majored in vocal performance with a minor in musical theatre. In her studies she fell in love with both the thrill of live performance and the beauty of self-expression. While being classically trained, Lauren also dove into musical theater repertoire. After her studies she found a challenging and deep love for American Jazz music. Her repertoire ranges widely from Nina Simone, Melody Gardot and Madeleine Peyroux to blues artists like Lizz Wright, Tracy Chapman, and Eva Cassidy.

            has been working hard through the years to carve out his own unique sound while passing down the line, songs of old and taking pride in shedding light on the new. With just his guitar, a voice filled with all the character you’d imagine an old crooning storyteller might have, a harmonica, and kick drum, Luke paints landscapes in vivid imagery where devils and angels roam and collide. Drawing from personal heartache and triumph, he’s been known to get the feet moving and the tears flowing. He’s a true original, powerful, yet visibly vulnerable with each performance. He cares deeply about music and it shows. Seeing him LIVE is the best way to really get to witness his unique brand of folk, country, rock, and Americana..

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           "Creating art is, and always will be, a passion of mine"
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I was a kid who grew up on the south side of Des Moines who loved to draw.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           My biggest inspiration was my father, who would sit down with me at the kitchen table and we would draw the comics that were in The Des Moines Register.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It's crazy to think that one day I would create illustrations for that newspaper, and it would turn into a 30-year career.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           During that time, my art appeared in a variety of newspapers and my freelance career would take off. I did illustrations for many magazines and ad agencies throughout the country.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           My medium of choice has evolved over time. I began with drawing, pen and ink and painting.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Later, I would create with scratchboard and paper sculpture. Most of my art today is digital.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I've been awarded the National Cartoonists Society Newspaper Illustrator of the lear, top awards in the Dimensional Illustrators International, as well as the American Illustration Annual and the Society of Newspaper Design.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I have enjoyed illustrating childrens books, book covers and posters.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Last year I created the art for RAGBRAI'S 50th ride. That was the 8th time I would create their poster.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I continue to freelance and do personal work which has allowed me to connect with many people worldwide.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Creating art is, and always will be, a passion of mine.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           Joshua Sinclair
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is just getting started. He continues to capture what life is like being a songwriter for the past 20 years, and all the highs and lows of life on the road. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           After an unfortunate accident at a friend's bachelor party in 2015 which resulted in a broken knee; Josh's whole trajectory changed. Faced with not being able to walk for months, he took it as an opportunity to learn a new skill, live looping. Live looping is the recording &amp;amp; playback of a piece of music in real-time using a small foot pedal to capture and record song phrases on-the-fly. This became the backbone of his live show...using just a guitar, a microphone, and a loop pedal, he creates exciting &amp;amp; dynamic performances, a la "Keith Urban meets Ed Sheeran."
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            also was the catalyst in starting up a music therapy program at a local hospital in 2018. Much like the national program, “Musicians On Call,” he wanted to bring that same kind of experience to patients to help make their hospital stay a little bit easier. The program has since expanded over the past 5 years to include other local musicians and offer more opportunities to help those in need.

In 2017, he also formed a new band with Whitmore, guitarists Stephen Howard and Steve Doyle, and Body Electric drummer Brian Cooper, called Middle Western.

           James’ music is vulnerable, emotional, and raw, as well as inspired by the work of artists of past decades. She brings an enchanting and spiritual aspect to her performances that you do not often see in this day and age.

           "No stranger to crisscrossing the Midwest, Iowa native Marc Bailey carries with him a vault of memories and experiences that can only be told through his songwriting. Whether picking lightly on his strings, or trudging in a rhythmic charge down the neck of his guitar, Marc’s voice only gives more encouragement to the raw melodies he plays.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Dan Trilk carries on the hallowed tradition of great musical storytellers and has been compared to such artists as Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, and Jackson Brown. Dan started officially performing as a solo musician in 2009. Since then he’s released two full-length records, “Iowa Weather” and “The Antiparticle Man” and nine singles. His latest single ‘Lucky Like Me’ is scheduled for release on March 29th, 2024.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Trilk brings his talent as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, and his ease in almost any genre, to his new inspired releases. Through the songs, you experience a rich gravy of rootsy musical styles all evenly poured over the meat and potatoes of Trilk’s quirky, relatable lyrics and unique, savory songwriting. From the funky and hilarious “Gas Station Hot Dog” to the touching and intimate “Not A Bird” he is showing some new sides of his personality and writing that are only hinted at in his previous work.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Although his songs often detail his personal journey, the power of Trilk’s music lies in its ability to reach the listener through their own experiences. His live shows are routinely peppered with requests for a fan’s favorite because they have built their own memories into the lyrical content as all great songs invite you to do.

           Findley Elementary is nestled in the heart of the Parks Neighborhoods and educates its scholars “between Oxford and Cambridge.” There are roughly 300 students in the K-5 building where the arts are ESSENTIAL and the dreams are BIG.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Findley scholars benefit from partnerships with various community organizations, post-secondary institutions, and businesses, especially John Deere Financial and the By Degrees Foundation.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           On any given day in music class, there are kids composing music, singing songs, strumming ukeleles, or playing various percussion instruments. Band lessons are available to 5th graders and the Drama Club produces a musical every spring on the North High stage.
