One of the best ways to keep inventing new music is to keep listening to music. We've been keeping it lowkey this summer, getting ready for Newbo Round 2 (Take 2), and soaking in the sound of some of our favorite jams. ☀️🎧
Here's three summer playlists from a few of our favorite fighters....can you guess who's who? ❓🎶

Everyone wave hello and say happy birthday to our Maestro, Benjamin Schmidt-Helm!!!
Everything Ben touches turns to gold: that’s true of the music he plays, but even more true of what he brings to the relationships in his life. We couldn’t ask for a cooler cat on the keys in our band, or in our hearts. 🎹 🐱

Proud to be part of this homegrown music scene, and proud (as always) of Hank Welter (and a special shout out to everyone’s best friend, Jason Cleveland)!
City of Cedar Rapids looks to make changes to grow local music industry The city is planning to put together a music task force.
We've been working away, getting our material prepared to record a full-length studio album. With some timing, work, and a bit of luck we'll get into the studio sooner than later.
We've had an absolute blast playing them live and last year at Farm Fresh, we put together an acoustic set and performed these songs with nothing but good intentions.
We walked away with 6 versions of original songs that we were excited to release that captures and celebrates the occasion.
Until the new, full album is released, please click that link below. Follow the band, listen to the songs and tell your friends and family.
