Every week Iowa Public Radio's Java Blend with Ben Kieffer serves up
fresh-brewed performances and conversation with musicians from around the
state and around the country. Recorded before a live audience at the Java
House in downtown Iowa City, the one-hour show offers an eclectic mix of
live tunes from the vibrant independent music scene. Ben Kieffer infuses the
performances with lively chats to find out about the artists' music and
lives.

 

On Know the Score, music and culture, poetry and prose, the arts and
humanities, come to life. You'll hear a world of ideas each week--great
music with interviews of the artists and composers creating it; poetry and
prose discussed by the authors themselves; artists and dancers talking about
their work and the creative process; and we hear performances of the highest
order by local and regional ensembles as well as new releases by the world's
most acclaimed artists. Joan Kjaer is host of Know the Score and once a
month she will take the show on the road for productions before a live
audience. Live Know the Score shows are free and open to the public,
broadcast live on KSUI, KHKE and KUNZ, and rebroadcast on all stations of
the IPR Classical network the following morning at 10 a.m.

 

This unique weekly music program is produced and hosted by Iowa Public
Radio's Karen Impola. Unless otherwise noted, each Monday evening's show is
broadcast live from KUNI's 3rd floor studios in the Communication Arts
Center on the University of Northern Iowa campus in Cedar Falls. The public
is invited to be part of the Studio One audience for this live show.
Admission is $3 at the door, free for children under 12. For broadcast times

Third Annual Quad Cities Community Festival to be held in Davenport’s LeClaire Park Saturday and Sunday, September 27 and 28  

Unity Festival 2008, a multicultural community festival held in LeClaire Park the last weekend in September, will feature dance and musical performances, a puppet show, a youth art exhibition, a bean bag tournament with $900 in prizes, and other games, inflatables and family activities, along with great food and crafts. Saturday evening in the band shell, local favorites; Ellis Kell and The Pena Brothers will perform, along with the festival headliners, Junior Walker’s All-Star Band, playing Motown hits from the 60’s and 70’s.

Just as a band makes their way from the garage to a bar gig to an arena and makes the climb from an unsigned band to rock stars, the owners of the Reverb are making a transition from the garage to mainstream.  The Reverb, a staple of live music in downtown Cedar Falls, will be moving all assets and energy to their other business, Spicoli’s Rock Garden and Grill, which opened in January  of this year.  The new venue, located at 3555 University Avenue, will expand on the vast amount of local, regional, and national acts of all genres that the Reverb has brought to the cedar valley since 2001 and will add the great specials, spacious seating, and appetizing food brought by Spicoli’s.  This new venture will officially be dubbed Spicoli’s Grill and the Reverb Rock Garden.
