YOUR OWN PRIVATE IOWA - Episode 15: Morning Sex and The Good Weed

Ames legends Adam, Ben and Wally join me in the studio this last week to lay dow some tunes and have a little chat. We had some mic issues but got them fixed, these guys are hilarious and played a whole bunch of songs in the hour. I kinda just let them keep playing and it was a fantastic little show. This episode is dedicated to Charlie Vestal, memeber of Morning Sex and The Good Weed.

JAZZMAN JOE VIDEOS - Josh Duffee and The Graystone Monarchs at the 45th Bix Biederbecke Jazz Festival at The Waterfront Convention Center in Bettendorf on Aug 6, 2016

"This newly-formed 10-piece hot dance band plays the great music of the 20's and 30's. Their arrangements allow for the musicians to take their own solos or play the solo like it was played on the original recording.

"The group is available for jazz festivals, tours, or anything else you would think we'd enjoy performing at."

YOUR OWN PRIVATE IOWA - Episode 14: Dear Rabbit

Back in September Maximum Ames happened, adnit was a great year of shows. One of my favorite bands to perform was Dear Rabbit, and I was able to sit down with there front man and conduct an interview as well as record some of his solo set.* The entire band which played later that day came into the studio and did a rehersal of sorts with me before playing that night. Here is the compilation of Dear Rabbit tuns while they were in Ames.
