Des Moines Register
One night in 2015, alto vocalist Jeni Grouws decided to walk across the street from her hotel in Bettendorf for a jam session at a since-closed venue that called itself Muddy Waters, blending the name of the Chicago blues legend with a nod to the nearby Mississippi.
There she met and performed with musicians Chris Avey and Bryan West, who became fast friends. The Avey Grouws Band was born at a 2017 New Year s Eve party in Decorah, and the tours that followed took them to Florida, Arizona, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Tennessee and more.
The group produced an EP, Road to Memphis. Then in March 2020 came their first album, The Devil May Care.
IPR s Mark Simmet writes about his favorite Iowa albums new in 2020.
Mark Simmet s favorite album picks for 2020 show the diversity of Iowa s musical talent.
2020 will be remembered as a year of challenges. For musicians, those challenges centered on the recording and especially the live performance of their songs. Here are nine noteworthy 2020 albums from Iowa artists that were favorites of mine, listed in the rough order of their release.
Brian Johannesen - Holster Your Silver
The Iowa City based songwriter and musician released his second album early in the year, and we were able to have him on live for an IPR broadcast from xBk in Des Moines. His set that night and the music on this album highlight what makes Americana from the middle of the country so special.
