Music Series Chad Elliott at Mount Vernon Creates
<p>Tickets on sale now, only 10.00 online or stop in to the gallery. You can also reserve your wine and dessert ahead of time.</p><p>Doors open at 6:30 pm.</p><p>Chad Elliott’s soulful, foot-stomping shows are incredible. His laid-back storytelling and his skillful fingerpicking weave well-crafted songs together for an evening of pure entertainment. Averaging more than 200 shows per year, Elliott has been on the road for nearly 20 years performing a blend of Americana, roots and country music.</p><p><br></p><p>Elliott has worked with many greats and shared the stage with artists of the highest caliber, including Odetta, Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, R.L. Burnside, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey, Eric Church, Brantley Gilbert, Counting Crows, Ruthie Foster, Lonestar, Jimmy Vaughan, etc. He has won coveted awards including the Woody Guthrie Song Contest and Iowa Blues Challenge. He placed 3rd in the International Song Contest with his Americana song, "Same Old Way."</p><p><br></p><p>Details:</p><p>On his 20th album, Wreck and Ruin, Elliott dove into his love of roots-rock, soul and blues music with a rocking band behind his artfully crafted songs. Producer and drummer, Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) lined up the best rhythm and lead players in Nashville to create Elliott’s greatest album to date. Guitarist and bassist Kenny Vaughan and Dave Roe, legendary Nashville players, add the needed touches to rocket Elliott’s songs into a new arena of hard driving Americana.</p><p><br></p><p>“Chad Elliott has assembled not only a great group of songs, but some of Nashville's finest roots music practitioners and producer drummer Ken Coomer to make a soulful and beautiful album. Townes would be proud.” - Will Kimbrough about Wreck and Ruin.</p><p><br></p><p>On his 21st album, RINGGOLD, Elliott recorded songs at his home studio in Iowa. The studio, built in his grandparents’ former home, helped him connect with his roots and explore difficult songs about those closest to him. It was released in 2017.</p><p><br></p><p>Elliott released his 22nd album, Rest Heavy, on August 10, 2018. Rest Heavy was recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN, with his band, The Redemptions. Greg Brown said of the new album, it’s “low, loose and full of juice. This album’s got a lot of life to it.”</p><p><br></p><p>Press Quotes:</p><p>"This album just oozes soul, truth, and seems rather timeless as it could have been recorded almost any time in the last fifty-sixty years." - Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine review of Rest Heavy (US)</p><p><br></p><p>"There is so much to be loved about this album. From start to finish, it's a masterpiece of deep soul and blues that shows you all the pictures of the places that inspired its sounds in every song. You need this album in your collection..." - Amanda Marcazo, The Jamwich magazine review of Rest Heavy (US)</p><p><br></p><p>“Chad Elliott has assembled not only a great group of songs, but some of Nashville's finest roots music practitioners and producer drummer Ken Coomer to make a soulful and beautiful album. Townes would be proud.” - Will Kimbrough said of Chad Elliott'sWreck and Ruin album</p><p><br></p><p>"Chad Elliott is a veteran singer/songwriter who writes smooth, feel good songs ranging from soulful drinking songs to upbeat road-tunes to down and dirty tunes worthy of Ray Wylie Hubbard." - Calvin Powers, The Americana Music Show</p><p><br></p><p>“…Chad Elliott stands out as a timeless and genuine musical poet with supple-strong roots like the bluestem and buffalo grass of Iowa prairie.” - Todd Partridge,<span> </span><a data-lynx-mode="hover" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FNoDepression.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2KMEnwX1mbo7HhdXIsa63qqya7Zn5EAH9itZrOw07XKfHLZUQVO304sbE&h=AT12_nmRhzgg7HwbdLnBRbhpCs_kwgWRYiws9HRYVCIthUELA_NeWn3r1Vr4Iqdccf0H5cXqaYMAVt5Fz7i_U4Eas3eQff1YHff8Ohe0Mmsb5pRyIyyulF_Ni_hiYZT-pQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">NoDepression.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>"In the wide scope of Americana music live stories timeless as the land.

Wednesday Women at Prairiewoods
<p>Are you a woman looking for spiritual enrichment, inspiration and motivation? Join this vibrant group of women that finds spiritual growth every Wednesday in the supportive setting of Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). You are welcome to join any time and to come any Wednesday you can! Topics arise from within the hearts and minds of those gathered. This winter (Nov. 7–Jan. 23), we are exploring a holistic approach to forgiveness and its impact on our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. Reflecting with Marcia Ford’s <em>The Sacred Art of Forgiveness: Forgiving Ourselves and Others through God’s Grace</em>, we consider coming to terms with anger, bitterness and resentment held within our bodies; understanding the differences between forgiveness and reconciliation; taking the initiative in forgiving; learning strategies for listening “with the whole body” in emotionally charged situations; knowing when to forgive and let go—and when to forgive and take action; learning ways of consciously raising our awareness of God in forgiving; and sourcing compassion for others and for self. Deep reflection, learning, lively conversation, laughter, storytelling and inquiry all generate incredible energy and spiritual stimulation. Participants will also view TED Talks, converse, reflect, support and challenge one another to personal growth in any stage of life. The group will have its annual Christmas Luncheon at 11 a.m. on Dec. 12 and will not meet Dec. 19 or 26 in honor of Christmas. The cost is $10 per session (but please come even if you cannot afford to pay). Registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Ann Jackson, PBVM, at 319-395-6700, ext. 203, or ajackson@prairiewoods.org.</p> 2017-07-01 13:00:00 -0500

'The Science of Measurement and Climate Change:' Professors from Luther College and Iowa State University to give Dec. 13 colloquium
<p>For the past two years, Luther College adjunct faculty Philip Iverson and Iowa State University professor emeritus Jim Iversen have been compiling information about the science and measurement of climate change and will present a lecture on their research at 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, in the Mott Room of the Dahl Centennial Union.</p><p>This event, titled "The Science of Measurement and Climate Change," is open to the public with no charge for admission.</p><p>Jim and Phil Iversen's presentation will focus on the science and measurements of climate change, using carbon dioxide and temperature data collected from polar ice core samples. These data, along with contemporary measurements, provides compelling evidence that both the concentration of carbon dioxide and global average temperature have been rising at an increasing rate since the 1950's, and that today's levels of CO2 and global temperature are higher than that at any time going back through the last four ice ages.</p><p>Philip Iversen is a statistician and senior research advisor at Eli Lilly and Company. He is also an adjunct faculty of the Luther College mathematics department and a member of the American Statistical Association and the Mathematical Association of America.</p><p>Jim Iversen is a professor emeritus of aerospace engineering at Iowa State University. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and served as a member of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.</p><p>A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs. For more information about Luther visit the college's website: http://www.luther.edu.</p> 2018-12-06 16:00:00 -0600
