• Susan Werner

  <p>Susan Werner at CSPS Hall on Friday, December 1, 2023 @ 8PM.</p><p>As audiences will testify, Werner's been knocking it out of the park - or concert hall - all around the US for twenty years. Renowned as a charismatic performer, she's known above all for challenging herself to conquer new styles, almost like mountaintops, every few years. From her 1995 major label debut, the folk/rock gem <em>Last of the Good Straight Girls</em>, to her 2007 "agnostic gospel" hymnal <em>The Gospel Truth</em>, to 2013's tribute to agriculture and her Iowa farm roots <em>Hayseed</em>, to 2018's Cuban flavored collection <em>An American in Havana,&nbsp;</em>Werner's creative restlessness has become her defining characteristic.</p><p>This is a General Admission seated show held in the theater of CSPS Hall. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime.&nbsp;</p><p>$30 advance | $35 door</p> 2023-11-17 23:00:00 -0600

Joining Carol will be Bruce Millard on guitar, mandolin, and banjo; Riley Thurm on guitar, bass, and pedal steel guitar; and Dillon Rairdin on guitar, keyboards, bass, and percussion. Carol is a former member of the Christmas trio known as Tribute. Tribute performed together to sold out audiences for 19 years. This is Carol's fifth Christmas concert as a soloist. Audiences will enjoy traditional Christmas Carols, contemporary Christmas songs, and a few songs just for fun! One show only. Tickets on sales now.</p><p><br></p><p>Carol Montag, grew up in Ames, Iowa and learned to play guitar by ear while listening to the music of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins and other folk music legends. She accompanies herself on six and twelve string acoustic guitars, piano, and lap dulcimer. Fellow students could often hear the music of Joan, Joni, and Judy floating down the halls from Carol's dorm room at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. These three women were not only an inspiration to Carol, but also ignited her interest in songwriting.</p><p><br></p><p>Carol has recorded six albums: <em>Song for Carrie, White, Marigolds, Second Sermon, Silent Night,</em> and <em>Simple Gifts.</em> Montag has performed at numerous music festivals, coffeehouses, colleges, and concert series. She has opened for or shared the stage with Arlo Guthrie, Three Dog Night, Michael Johnson, Tom Paxton, Jim Post, Greg Brown, Kenny Rankin, David Wilcox, John Gorka, John Stewart, and others. Carol was commissioned to write and perform music for Ballet Iowa and the LaCrosse Ballet. Carol has also performed at the World Food Prize Award Ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol. Past performers at The World Food Prize Award Ceremony include such notables as Ray Charles, John Denver, and Simon Estes. She recently was signed to Fervor Records. The label is home to a select roster of emerging indie bands, heritage artists, and an incredible array of cult hits, deep cuts and rarities from the 1920s to current day. Recently, Carol has received multiple awards for her music video titled "Strange Ballet" which was wriiten in the aftermath of a land hurricane that stuck much of Eastern Iowa.</p><p><br></p><p><em>“Upon hearing her music I was stunned and couldn’t wait to write about her. Once I even rented a bus and took a bunch of Des Moines Register reporters and editors on a trip across Iowa to hear Carol sing at Stone City. Carol has a true gift and is a true Iowa treasure.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</em>- Julie Gammack, former Des Moines Register columnist</p><p><em>"Carol is a genuine discovery. The best to come out of Iowa since Bonnie Koloc."&nbsp;</em><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;</em>- Tom Paxton</p><p><em>“...a singer of new songs written by her for her. Carol is not folk or blues or modern, she cannot be categorized, she must be heard.”&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</em>- Burlington, IA Area Arts Council</p><p><em>“Carol has the voice of an angel. Timeless, transporting, lovely, and evocative. Lyrically wise and uplifting.”&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>&nbsp; &nbsp; -&nbsp;</em>Robert Lindsey Nassif - Theatrical music composer</p> 2023-10-13 21:30:00 -0500

The name "High Bank Boys" comes from the body of water flowing through the band's home territory in Deep River, Iowa. The Deep River passes through the town of the same name, but the shallow stream wasn't named for its actual depth, but rather the "High Banks" that contain the river in the town and surrounding area. Known for having their practices in and around the community, the “High Bank Boys” became the perfect name for the sensational group of men that was founded there.</p><p>While shows performed by Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys are youthful and lively, the four members of the High Bank Boys have more than 50 years of experience playing live music combined. With this kind of dedication and devotion to country music, it's no wonder that the High Bank Boys have become the premier country band in the area. Known for being an excellent dance band as well as making the crowd feel like "one of the guys" when there's no dance floor available, the High Bank Boys are at home playing in almost any kind of venue or event.</p><p>The musical travels of the various members of Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys have been extensive, both before and through the formation of the current band. Music has taken them from local clubs, to fireman's dances and anniversary parties, and from the largest events and festivals to street dances in the smallest of towns throughout the entire state of Iowa. Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys have been honored to be the opening act for Locash, John Michael Montgomery, High Valley, Sunny Sweeney, Jordan Davis and Brett Young, among others. Each performance has been a great professional achievement for them, and they anxiously look forward to the next opportunity!</p><p>Their most rewarding experiences, however, are the looks of satisfaction on the faces of their fans during and after another great show. It’s easy to see from their following, that this group of guys and the music they play is genuinely appreciated. Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys’ repertoire includes iconic country cover tunes, as well as original music that is written and arranged by the band. All this and more makes the High Bank Boys a danceable, partying, crowd-pleasing, energetic band that is entertaining for folks of all ages.<br>While our group makes the music, it's the individuals in the band that make Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys so unique.</p> 2023-07-14 00:00:00 -0500
