It s going to be a busy summer!
So many great national acts will be making their way through Iowa these next few months, but don t forget about the local acts! There are some wildly talented musicians in our area, and I get the pleasure of experiencing new ones every year as a judge at the Cedar Rapids Battle of the Bands. I m a big fan of live music, no matter what genre it is!
I ve enjoyed some great local acts these past few years, so I thought I would put together a list of a few of my favorites, just in case anyone is looking for some fun live music to enjoy this summer.
Uptown Friday Nights Officially Return to Cedar Rapids on Friday
After a
VERY long 2020, the Uptown Friday Nights concert series presented by the Cedar Rapids Jaycees will finally return this Friday, May 28th. It will take place at the McGrath Amphitheatre beginning at 5:30 p.m. and will feature local band
The Mixtape. As always, the event is for ages 21 and over only and you must show a photo ID to get through the gates. It costs $5 per person.
While this year s Uptown Friday Nights will be very similar to years past, there are a few changes and additions to make the events bigger and better than ever. First of all, all nine events will run until 10 p.m. in 2021. There will also be multiple food trucks/vendors each night, so you ll have a few more options when it comes to dinner.
