Drumming for Healing at Prairiewoods
<p>Feel the Creator’s rhythm inside you during a drum circle. Join facilitator Sheri Mealhouse (Hawkwoman) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) each month. <em>Please note the date changes for June.</em> In the cosmic experience, drumming touches us at a deep level and brings all creation together as a community. Especially now, when our external and internal worlds can be so polarized, communication that bears witness to creative love is very important. Drumming—and feeling the Creator’s rhythm inside of us—resonates with a variety of people. All racial, economic, denominational and other differences can disappear when a group of people share rhythm. As you prayerfully listen to other drummers in order to make music, the whole group becomes one! These drum circles take place monthly, and you may attend one or all. No experience is necessary. You are welcome to bring your own drum or use one of ours. This drum circle will meet near the pond south of the Center if the weather is nice or in the Art Room during inclement weather. A free-will offering to the facilitator will be accepted. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2017-07-01 19:00:00 -0500

Blues Beatles
<p>Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today - an original band that Marcos Viana, Flavio Naves, Lancaster Ferreira, Bruno Falcão and Fred Barley started in 2010. Marcos, the singer, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded, as if he had written them himself. The reason for this was that Marcos really identified with the songs and never imitated John or Paul. He simply sang with his own voice and from his heart. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these "break songs." One day Lancaster said: "Why don't we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!" Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013.</p><p>The first version of the Beatles songs that caught people's attention was "Ticket To Ride." The video has now more than two million views on Facebook. The band has worked and reworked many different songs since it was formed, but only the ones that sound natural to their ears stay in the repertoire. Most of the vocal melodies are kept in their original form, but interpreted with Marcos Viana's unique voice, in an unpretentious and heart-felt way. The arrangements combine blues and soul grooves that suit the vocals of the songs while adding a different feel to them. Instrumental solos and improvisation, typical elements of the blues, are an integral part of the Blues Beatles style. Their fiery live performances showcase their individual and collective skills as soloists.</p><p>The personal and musical affinity between the members of the Blues Beatles is a very strong bond that makes them a band in the true sense of the word. Mutual admiration is the key element in their partnership. "We are big fans of one another and after every concert we always feel that we are lucky to have met each other. We are not better than anyone, we just love playing together," says the whole band in unison.</p><p>Blues Beatles released their debut CD, <em>Get Back to The Blues</em> recorded in 2016 at the Space Blues Studios in São Paulo, Brazil. To achieve the sound they were looking for they invited their favorite saxophone player Denilson "Big D" Martins to record several tracks. Later the band invited him to join them on tours. In December 2016 they started divulging their videos internationally on Facebook and their instant success was overwhelming. Their rendition of "A Hard Day's Night" reached one million views in only one week.</p><p>This show is in the Rhythm Room on the Rhythm City Casino Resort® casino floor. <strong>You must be 21 years of age or older to attend and not be self-excluded from gaming in the state of Iowa.</strong></p><p>Tickets are $15 advance or $20 day of show plus applicable taxes and fees (fees are waived when tickets are purchased at The Market gift shop inside Rhythm City Casino Resort®). All seating is general admission and seating is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis.</p> 2019-06-01 21:30:00 -0500

Before she could write, she began dreaming up stories. Starting with recorded conversations for her dolls on a Fisher-Price cassette player, she moved on to an antique typewriter found at a garage sale, then an electric typewriter, and finally computers. It wasn’t until she picked up romance novels in her late twenties that she found where she belonged. With the help of her husband, she carves out time to write while raising five children, working full time and obsessing over her laundry list of eccentric passions. Every new obsession seems to find its way into her romance world!</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-02-08 19:00:00 -0600
