How about that jazz, hepcats? You’ve hopefully made it downtown to get your fill of live music and vittles at the 2010 Iowa City Jazz Festival, but if you’ve been missing out, fret not! We’ve plenty of video highlights from Friday’s festivities to share, including clips of the U.S. Army blues–straight out of Washington D.C.–and the Bob Washut Dream Band.
With Jennie Vicious on lead vocals and Richey Vicious carrying the harmony, Toronto’s The Vicious Guns tout a vocally-focused brand of electronic rock that’s as smart as it is catchy. The two visited Gabe’s Saturday, putting on a lively performance after Chicago’s Boutros had finished their opening set.
Whatever kind of music you are into, there is a festival for you this weekend. In Des Moines, it’s time for 80/35. Daytrotter is bringing a spectacular “Barn on the 4th of July” show to Maquoketa, and for the 20th year, the Iowa City Jazz Fest is here.
