Central Iowa’s blueprint to fun diversions, interesting distractions and enjoyable recreation

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.
