Awful Purdies, Abbie & the Sawyers and The Night Lights, with Deb Talan, will bring to the stage songs for the heart and soul, reflecting their lived experiences as mothers, friends, women, artists and activists. </p><p><em>Awful Purdies</em></p><p>Awful Purdies is a Folk-Americana collective of five multi-instrumental women, powered by seamless harmonies, banjo, accordion, cello, guitar, mandolin, and bass. The sound is an earnest nod to traditional American music, folk, old country, bluegrass, honky tonk, and soul. The live performance experience is intimate, containing both humor and insight. On stage, Awful Purdies actively share gratitude and support of one another and take turns stepping up as lead singers and songwriters. Since 2006, Awful Purdies have been raising families, telling women’s stories, advocating for human rights, and engaging with their communities in Eastern Iowa</p><p><em>Abbie & the Sawyers</em></p><p>Think folksy swoons and harmonic ditties, with playful melodic (and lyrical) range. Abbie & the Sawyers make songs that feel warm, whether it's an uptempo summer dance-along or a slow ode to night spent with someone you love. As described by dsm Magazine, their “unique blend of backwoods Appalachia and Midwest charm creates a sound that is stunningly intimate.</p><p><em>The Night Lights</em></p><p>The Diplomettes from Diplomats of Solid Sound banded together to create lush, harmony-driven feely folk at Golden Bear Studio in Des Moines. These long-time friends and bandmates' original songs tell stories about motherhood, personal evolution and friendship</p><p><em>Deb Talan</em></p><p>Deb Talan has been writing songs since she was 14 years old. Granted, her style has changed a bit since writing the forever-unknown smash-hit “Through the Window” about feeling numb, like life was going on somewhere out there but not accessible to her (at 14. so jaded.) She played clarinet, wrote songs on piano, later taught herself to play guitar in college, got obsessed with Shawn Colvin, was a vegetarian for 4 years, ended that with a hotdog and a swim in lake Michigan, started a band in Portland, OR with her friend Mark, named it Hummingfish, wrote a lot of fun songs that people danced to ‘til they were all sweaty in that hipster/grungy/geeky Northwest kind of way, moved back to the east coast 6 years and a divorce later and began playing solo in Boston coffee houses (read: 4 different Starbucks that she also poured espresso at) opened shows for Catie Curtis (a songwriter hero of hers) met up with Steve Tannen and formed The Weepies, played shows all over the country and the world, toured in a real tourbus! moved to LA, got married to Steve, made 5 records and 3 amazing boy-children together with him, had songs placed in loads of movies and tv shows, moved to Iowa, got breast cancer, got chemotherapy and relied heavily on marijuana for pain and nausea relief(Legalize, for gods’ sakes, can we grow up as a country, please?) recovered from breast cancer, made a solo album, struggled with mental health issues (Childhood Incest Survivor, lucky to be alive, music has helped, and so have many blessed healers) and relationship issues for 6 years, got divorced from Steve. She has a lot she could say these days. She prefers to listen. But playing songs for people is a close second. Music heals. Songs can be prayers. Deb Talan is some lovely damn proof of that. </p> 2023-09-19 05:00:00 -0500

<p>From the celebrated screenwriter of <em>Tender Mercies </em>and <em>To Kill a Mockingbird, </em>this play tells the story of Carrie Watts, a woman who longs to return to her childhood home of Bountiful, Texas, which she hasn’t seen in 20 years. But she finds herself at odds with her son and daughter-in-law, who are struggling to fulfill their own dreams. A play about family, love, and obligation… and the journeys that define us. </p><p><b>October 20 – November 5, </b><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>2023,</b></span><b> at Riverside Theatre.</b> </p><p><strong>Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2pm.</strong></p> 2023-10-26 21:30:00 -0500
