If you’ve seen an Iowa City band perform in the past few years, odds are you’ve heard Dan Padley on guitar. Trained in jazz at the University of Iowa, Padley’s specialty is improvisation — creating “mini sonic universes” of sound, whether he’s soloing at a rock concert or twanging it up at a country show.
In this edition of Studio Visit, Padley describes Iowa City’s music scene, his own personal style and why cooking breakfast food is kind of like songwriting.
