Celebrate Ten Years: Del at The Blue Moose, 6/21/11
Issue #1 of Little Village was published in July 2001. It’s on file at both local libraries, and it’s totally worth seeking out. Every page in the issue evokes a potent sense of place–a place so cantankerously in love with itself, it could only be this place: Iowa City. In the opening pages, the founding […]

Podcast: Hannah Drollinger, Eugene Kelley on Little Village Live
Hannah “The Bohemian Fiddler” Drollinger, acoustic guitarist Eugene Kelley and drummer Rob Evans perform almost an hour’s worth of solo, duet, and trio pieces. The songs range from upbeat gypsy tunes to more soulful folk–some recorded here for the first time.
Show Review: Tribal Momentum, Eugene Kelley, and Hannah Drollinger – 5/17/2011
In preparation for their upcoming show at the Yacht Club, members of the new Iowa City band, Tribal Momentum, hosted a house party and concert Tuesday night. The event evoked the feel of a hidden carnival or a Gypsy fireside, where musicians wander through delighting the assembled. There were artists of music as well as artists of munchies; the wonderful Claire made gourmet treats to complement Hannah’s tasty sangria punch. Everyone there seemed to know half of the crowd, and the convivial atmosphere helped them meet the other half before the night ended.
This show was exciting and friendly, daring yet comfortable, prepared yet extemporaneous, which pretty much sums up the personalities of the artists who hosted. I’d like to thank them for their hospitality, but I’d really like to thank them for sharing some phenomenal music.
