• The Bellamy Brothers at the First Avenue Club in Iowa City

  <p>The First Avenue Club welcomes The Bellamy Brothers on Friday, December 17th, 2021. TABLE OPTIONS: Reserved Table for 4 with tickets $185. General Admission Ticket with a seat at a shared table (seated with other patrons) $40. Reserved table patrons must have at least one person check in at 7:00pm to get their table assignment. Standing General Admission Tickets: $25. Doors are at 7:00pm and the show begins 8:00pm. This is an all-ages show.</p><p>Tickets: <a href="https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/the-bellamy-brothers/275?cs=true&cst=custom">https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/the-bellamy-brothers/275?cs=true&amp;cst=custom</a></p><p>Howard and David Bellamy continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating over 40 years of success.</p><p>The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks &amp; Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big &amp; Rich and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A.</p><p>The brothers first official gig was in 1968, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida. They honed their early skills playing Black clubs throughout the south, and singing backup for artists such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and Little Anthony &amp; The Imperials. Within a few months, the brothers moved north, immersing themselves and their rock/country sound in the Atlanta market, where the Allman Brothers were the emerging kings of the music world.</p><p>With the dawning of the Age of Aquarius on the horizon, and America embroiled in a smoke haze of drugs, civil unrest and an unpopular war, The Bellamy’s music picked-up the hard driving edge that bespoke the times. Songwriting had become David Bellamy’s drug of choice during the long road gigs he and Howard were regularly pulling bodies and equipment to and from. It was his songwriting that was posed to soon provide the duo a national breakout.</p><p>The break came in the form of the hit, “Spiders &amp; Snakes,” written by David and recorded by Jim Stafford. The song became a smash, eventually selling more than three million units worldwide. It became the catapult that rocketed the brothers onto the L.A. music scene. Young and impressionable, Howard and David fell into the musical circle of the greats of the day: Bob Dylan, James Taylor and Van Morrison, as well as West Coast based country rockers like Poco and the Byrds.</p><p>It was a creative shoe that fit.</p><p>Now known by their music and the company they were keeping, The Bellamys officially lifted off the launch pad in 1976 when their single, “Let Your Love Flow,” became an instant smash in both the U.S. and Europe. It stayed on the international charts long enough to build a huge international fan base for the hip young brothers that endures to this day. In Germany alone it perched at No. 1 for more than two months. The love was indeed flowing as The Bellamys jammed for audiences on their sold-out concerts and shared stages with the likes of Loggins &amp; Messina, the Doobie Brothers and the Beach Boys with their patented blend of rock/country music. True to their musical roots, their style and their songwriting was moving steadily more towards their raising.</p><p>By the late ‘70’s The Bellamys were emerging on the country charts with another bona fide smash. “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the pop market just a few years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of fourteen No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone.</p><p>Success followed success: “Dancing Cowboys,” “Sugar Daddy,” “You Ain’t Just Whistlin’ Dixie,” “Lovers Live Longer,” “Do You Love As Good As You Look,” “Redneck Girl,” “For All The Wrong Reasons,” “I Love Her Mind,” “I Need More Of You,” “Old Hippie,” “Too Much Is Not Enough,” “Kids Of The Baby Boom,” “Reggae Cowboy” and “Crazy From The Heart,”…all have lined the corridors of the Bellamy’s musical history and their walls with platinum and gold.</p><p>Along the way, Howard and David created a patent on the newly cool “duo” category in country music. In the era of the 2000’s, The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations. Numerous GRAMMY nods have also been directed toward the brothers. Internationally, the story has been the same—though the titles may be different. The Bellamys have released more than two-dozen hit songs outside the U.S. that were never released here. With a sharp eye on the songwriting skills that have been the bedrock of their success, Howard and David concur that their career is unique in their international finesse for matching their songs to the market.</p><p>“For the international releases, you have to have a strong melody,” notes David. “The lyric is very important, but internationally the melody is something fans can lock into, even if they can’t understand the lyrics.” Howard and David continue to perform and film TV specials in Europe and around the world.</p><p>These days when the subject turns to touring, The Bellamys are showing a new generation of country music how it’s done. Country superstar Blake Shelton has helped introduce a new era of fans to the hits of The Bellamy Brothers during his annual Friends And Heroes Tour, where they continue to captivate arena audiences around the country. “We’re old road dogs,” grins Howard when asked about the motivation behind the brothers 200 plus concert dates each year. Adds David: “Our live draw is bigger than it was in the ‘80’s. I think the same people that grew up with us and with our music in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s obviously have raised a whole new generation of Bellamy fans who started toddling to our music. Now they’re turning up at our concerts as college kids, who are really turned on and tuned in to us and our music….it’s a great feeling.”</p><p>On the infrequent off days from the road, Howard and David head the bus back to their 150-acre family ranch in Darby, Florida just north of Tampa. A working ranch, the spread consists of Purebred Brahman Cattle and quarter horses. The Bellamys are opening up their lives to television audiences with their hit reality show “Honky Tonk Ranch.” Each episode of “Honky Tonk Ranch” enthralls viewers with the unpredictable misadventures of the Bellamys attempting to balance their globe-trotting touring schedule while also running their sprawling family ranch in south Florida. The show was originally broadcast on “The Cowboy Channel” (a subsidy of RFD-TV) and streamed around the world. Season two of “Honky Tonk Ranch” airs now on Thursday evenings at 8:30 p.m. ET on the Circle Network and will also be available for worldwide streaming in the very near future.</p><p>The Bellamy Brothers celebrated their 40th anniversary with the release of a two-CD collection, 40 years, an ambitious project containing 20 of their biggest hits and 20 brand-new songs. In 2019, the Bellamys released Over the Moon as well as their first book Let Your Love Flow – the Life and Times of The Bellamy Brothers. The book is about two Florida cowboys who journeyed from country poverty to worldwide musical stardom because they had the talent and because it never occurred to them, they couldn’t make it.</p><p>Their most recent project, Bucket List, debuted in July of 2020 with “Rednecks (Lookin’ for Paychecks),” a timely take on the current situation, leading the EP. Bucket List also includes “No Country Music For Old Men,” a collaboration with longtime friend John Anderson inspired by the loss of Kenny Rogers, and more light-hearted songs like “Lay Low, Stay High,” which ties into Howard and David’s recent partnership with the Florida-based medical marijuana company, Trulieve, on their flower product line Old Hippie Stash.</p> 2021-07-14 00:00:00 -0500

• Flatland Cavalry at the First Avenue Club in Iowa City

  <p>Flatland Cavalry returns to the First Avenue Club on Friday, December 10^th, 2021. General Admission tickets: $20 (plus $2 service fee) and a Reserved Table for 4 (with tickets) is $105 (plus $7 service fee). Tables are in a gated, reserved area. Doors are at 7:00pm and the show begins at 8:00pm</p><p>Tickets: <a href="https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/flatland-cavalry/258?cs=true&cst=custom">https://first-avenue-club.square.site/product/flatland-cavalry/258?cs=true&amp;cst=custom</a></p><p>With their highly anticipated sophomore album, Homeland Insecurity, Texas’ Flatland Cavalry wants to stop and smell the roses. Bandleader and chief lyricist Cleto Cordero is fine with examining the present. There’s an appreciation for all the sharp detail and high-spirited emotions of today.</p><p>Flatland Cavalry—the aforementioned Cordero, guitarist Reid Dillon, bassist Jonathan Saenz, drummer Jason Albers, and newest member, fiddle player Wesley Hall—has been stretching their legs across the country this past year after honing their craft and voice in the music boomtown of Lubbock, Texas.</p><p>Homeland Insecurity finds Flatland further evolving as musicians and storytellers. They continue to expand their sonic palettes while remaining true to those defining characteristics that made them rising standouts years ago.</p><p>On their previous releases, Come May and Humble Folks, Cordero and company harnessed untethered emotions, feel-good rhythms, and simple raw energy to make it into the hearts of fans and critics. There was power in Cordero’s proverbial pen that resonated with the highs and lows of college life.</p><p>“We’re all just out of college,” says Cordero. “We’re in our mid-twenties. We’re all told growing up that by the time you’re out of school, you’ll have it all figured out, but that’s not really how it is. You’re still out there trying to find yourself.”</p><p>It’s not a jump into adult life. That’s a facade and outright lie. Life doesn’t happen that way. You don’t turn 25 and become a fully-formed person. Rather, Homeland Insecurity finds Flatland exploring the anxieties, unsureness, growth, resilience, falters, fear, maturation, and eventual lessons learned as your grow older.</p><p>By no means does Cordero and company feel they have it figured out, but rather, are trying to figure it out themselves as well.</p><p>“I think at some point, you feel like you need to grow-up, but you don’t know how,” says Cordero. “You’re searching for that path though. You’re overturning every rock trying to find the secret that gets on to the next. I’m not trying to be a teacher or anything. I just wish someone would have told me earlier on and saved me the heartache of it all.”</p><p>Flatland is unabashed in this search knowing that they’ve always wanted to be band where their crowd grew along with them. Cordero knows he could have just revisited old themes, young lust narratives, and drinking days glory for another album. He could have easily rehashed old ideas and gotten a pass for them as long as they were catchy, but he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself.</p><p>There’s an uneasiness in his voice when even broaching the subject of cookie-cutter songs. You can hear him loosening a tie around his neck that isn’t there.</p><p>“I had a lot I wanted to say,” says Cordero. “I knew there was a better way of saying it. I didn’t want to write at the same pace I was at during Humble Folks. And I don’t want to write at this pace in the future.”</p><p>Homeland Insecurity sees Cordero sanding and smoothing the edges as a lyricist and storyteller. He’s always had an ear for memorable melodies and a gift at finding the heart of the story. But here, he expands and challenges himself to not only write at a deeper thematic level, but to simply become a better songwriter.</p><p>“Everything I’d written before, it was always just something I had to get out. It was always spurred on by an emotion, but that doesn’t mean the lyrical side was rich,” says Cordero. “I have to really say something. Everything has to purposeful. I can’t get stuck.”</p><p>Indeed. Flatland Cavalry isn’t stuck in a rut. Despite embracing the harsh realities of modern civilization and the anxieties of life, Flatland carves out their own path on Homeland Insecurity.</p> 2021-07-14 00:00:00 -0500

Weaving is a metaphor for how we live our lives with loss. We weave the loss into our lives, we leave messy edges and we see beauty in it all. Registration is required by noon eight days in advance. Group art kits will be mailed one week prior to the session. Please note that this group is now meeting only online. This group is free and includes all art supplies. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-10-09 19:00:00 -0500

• Josh Turner - Holiday & the Hits

  <p>Multi-platinum-selling recording artist Josh Turner is releasing his first-ever Christmas album King Size Manger.<br>The holiday project features fresh interpretations of the classics and introduces four originals, three of which<br>were written or co-written by Turner. Plus, Turner is joined by very special guests including Turner’s wife and<br>four boys singing a holiday classic, a family tradition Turner wanted to feature on this special album. In support<br>of the album, Turner will embark on a 16-city Holiday &amp; The Hits Tour, culminating at Nashville’s Ryman<br>Auditorium, where the album will come to life alongside Turner’s most notable hits.<br><br>“Making a Christmas record can be a mighty daunting task for an artist,” says Turner. “There are so many<br>songs to choose from and there’ve been so many versions of those songs throughout history. It can be<br>intimidating to know whether you’ll be able to measure up to what’s already been done and when I get to that<br>point, I step back and remind myself that I have to do what I hear in my heart. You may be surprised to hear<br>my arrangement on some of these songs that you know so well. We had a lot of fun throwing out all the<br>preconceived notions of what a Christmas record should sound like. In my opinion, it’s about the words and<br>the heart and soul of how a song sounds. You don’t need jingle bells on a song to make it a Christmas song.”<br><br>With his deep bass voice, Turner has sold more than six million records, reached 3.2 billion global streams, and<br>has become a favorite and unforgettable hitmaker on country radio. With timeless songs like “Long Black<br>Train” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” Turner’s five No. 1 singles include “Your Man,” of which the official<br>music video recently surpassed 100 million views. This comes on the heels of the release of Your Man Deluxe<br>Edition, celebrating 15 years of Turner’s iconic double Platinum-selling album, as well as the release of the mini<br>documentary “Josh Turner Your Man 15th Anniversary” (Mini Doc). The Double-Platinum-selling “Would You<br>Go With Me,” featured on Your Man Deluxe Edition, recently experienced a viral surge across TikTok leading to<br>a jump in streaming which landed the classic country tune on Spotify’s US Viral 50 along with Spotify Viral<br>charts in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Posting more than 3.7M weekly streams, “Would You Go With<br>Me” moved inside the Top 35 on the Country streaming chart and ranked HOT on Amazon Music’s Voice Index.<br>A native of South Carolina, Turner has received six Inspirational Country Music Awards, and has been<br>nominated for two GRAMMY Awards, five CMA Awards, two ACM Awards, one CMT Award, and seven ACA<br>Awards. To support music and arts education, he created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to help students<br>pursue their studies in these fields.<br><br>Tickets are $65, $55 and $40 plus tax and an online/phone ticketing fee (this fee is waived when tickets are<br>purchased in the Gift Shop). Tickets in the ADA section are for patrons with mobility disabilities and up to three<br>companions.

• Men Exploring Faith at Prairiewoods

  <p>Behavioral scientists and spiritual guides have noted a major transformation in the life direction of many men as we mature. It may happen gradually or abruptly, as early as our 20s or in our 50s or 60s. Some men never make this shift, described as a change from goal drivenness to receptivity, from ego to wisdom. The transition can start from the inside <em>(Why am I doing what I’m doing?)</em> or the outside (from a loss or threat), and it may seem disruptive while on the way to being life-enhancing. Join with a small group of reflective men at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) in honest conversation about these changes. This group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and is facilitated by Linzy Martin. (This group will not meet Dec. 23 in honor of the holidays.) A free-will offering is accepted, and registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-08-09 17:30:00 -0500
