SUMMARY:Club 76 Sunday Concert Series: featuring The Matt Woods Band
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy Robyn Anderson\nThe Matt Woods Band is a Des Moines based blues band specializing in old school urban electric blues. The band’s hard-hitting rhythms and powerful guitar lines evoke a sound right out of the early Chess Records catalog. Featuring Matt Woods on guitar and vocals\, Dwight Dario on drums and Patrick Recob on bass\, this band boats some of the finest roots musicians in the Midwest. The Matt Woods Band has the ability to turn any situation into an old-fashioned blues party! Whether playing an old favorite or cranking out a clever original tune\, The Matt Woods Band can deliver!\nMATT WOODS – Guitars\, Vocals\, Songwriting and Cool HatsMatt Woods is both a native of Iowa\, and a longstanding purveyor of its diverse music scene. As a seasoned performer of many local\, regional and national venues\, Matt has developed a distinct style while staying true to his love of traditional American music. Woods is well versed in the many shapes this music can take; from traditional delta\, hill country and urban electric blues\, to gospel\, country and folk music. In addition to performing 100+ shows per year as a solo act\, playing with several roots oriented bands and backing up some of the finest songwriters in the Midwest\, Matt can often be found in the studio\, adding guitar parts to a diverse array of recordings.\n\n\nPATRICK RECOB – BassHailing from the Kansas Flint Hills calling the Metro Kansas City area home\, Patrick Recob has spent the past 32 years honing his craft as a touring bassist and sideman. An alumni of the Gary Primich Band in the 1990s\, Lee McBee & The Confessors in the 2000s and as a road sideman performing with many popular traditional Blues national act artists worldwide. He has been a part of several well known\, high profile recordings including his own well received debut album produced by James Harman & Nathan James. Currently focusing on his Midwest home base playing bass with several well known regional bands he makes his home with The Matt Woods Band.\nDWIGHT DARIO – DrumsDrummer and New Jersey native Dwight Dario first came to Iowa in 1974 where he spent time playing in the Mother Blues Band\, the 3rd Street Sliders with Bo Ramsey\, the Rocket 88s\, the Little Red Rooster Band\, Bob Reidy’s Chicago Blues Show with Johnny Littlejohn and in a duo with fellow Hall of Famer Joe Price.

Dwight moved to Des Moines in 2011 and has since played with Malcolm Wells and the Two Timers\, Matt Woods\, and Rob Lumbard. Dwight represented Iowa\, along with Bob Pace\, at the IBC in Memphis in 2017. In 2014\, Dwight was inducted into the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame.\nMatt Woods\nMatt Woods is both a native of Iowa\, and a longstanding purveyor of its diverse music scene.

Matt’s first solo album\, “If I Was a Fish”\, finished in the top 5 of The Blues Foundation’s “best self-produced CD” category in 2006. His two subsequent albums with The Thunderbolts\, have also gained national attention. 2007’s “Be My Friend”\, was referred to as “blistering” by Dirty Linen magazine\, and Living Blues magazine called 2010’s “Matt Woods and The Thunderbolts”\, “a smoking amalgam of Hound Dog Taylor and Freddy King”. Additionally\, Blues Revue called the album; “raw\, hypnotic and very appealing”. In 2015 Matt released “Sawdust and Gasoline”\, his first solo album comprised completely of original material. It went on to receive extensive airplay in the U.S. and Europe and also finished in the top 5 of The Blues Foundation’s “best self-produced CD” category for 2015. “Sawdust and Gasoline” was also nominated by Blues Blast Magazine for album of the year in the “Acoustic Blues” category!\nIn 2018 Matt Woods released his fifth studio album\, “Tired and Dirty” to critical acclaim. Like its predecessor\, “Tired and Dirty” is comprised completely of original material in an age old tradition\, featuring slashing slide guitar\, deft songwriting and powerful vocals.\nOver the course of his career\, Matt has shared the stage with many notable acts\, including; Hubert Sumlin\, James Cotton\, Pinetop Perkins\, Louisiana Red\, Eddy “The Chief” Clearwater\, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith\, John Primer\, Rj Mischo\, James Harman\, Nathan James\, Delbert McClinton\, The Arc Angels\, Dr. John\, Kelly Hunt\, Joe Price and many more.

As a point of pride\, Matt Woods and The Thunderbolts are the only local band\, before or since\, to play the Iowa State Fair Grandstand.

SUMMARY:Tig Notaro: Out of Nowhere Tour
DESCRIPTION:One of Rolling Stone’s 50 best comedians of all time rolls into Hancher. \nIn 2013\, Tig Notaro had the best-selling comedy album of the year. Live was recorded just days after Notaro was diagnosed with breast cancer (now in remission)—and the success of that set could be said to have launched her career from her native Mississippi to the far reaches of space (IYKYK) and plenty of places in between. Through it all\, her comedy has remained razor sharp—and her appearance at Hancher builds on four previous stops at The Englert.

SUMMARY:Gin Blossoms perform at Hy-Vee Amphitheater
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms will perform at Hy-Vee Amphitheater at Centennial Park on Sunday\, Sept. 13.\nTickets are available at https://englert.org/events/gin-blossoms/\nAll tickets are general admission on the outdoor stage’s greenspace; $55 for adults and $25 for students/youth.\nThis event is in partnership with the Englert Theatre\, but the concert will take place at Hy-Vee Amphitheater at Centennial Park\, located at 1565 Saint Andrews Drive in North Liberty.\n.  5:30 p.m.Gates\, parking and concessions open\n6:30 p.m.Opener\n7:45 p.m.Gin Blossoms\n Formed in Tempe\, Arizona in 1987\, Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ‘90s with their breakout major-label debut New Miserable Experience. Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy\,” the album went on to sell more than four million copies\, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. Their hometown legacy was officially recognized in October 2022\, when Tempe unveiled an honorary street sign renaming a section of 8th Street between Rural Road and Una Avenue as “Allison Road Avenue\,” celebrating both the beloved song and the album’s 30th anniversary.\nThey followed with the platinum-selling Congratulations I’m Sorry\, featuring the Top 10 smash “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY-nominated “As Long as It Matters.” Decades later\, their jangly guitars\, sharp hooks\, and emotionally resonant songwriting still hit with the same immediacy. Made up of Robin Wilson\, Jesse Valenzuela\, Bill Leen\, and Scotty Johnson\, Gin Blossoms continue to evolve without losing the sound that made them essential. Their latest album\, Mixed Reality (produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter)\, delivers 15 new tracks packed with chiming melodies\, wry lyricism\, and undeniable heart\, proving the band is as vital now as ever.\nInducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2017\, Gin Blossoms remain road-tested and fan-driven\, touring relentlessly and sharing stages with Collective Soul\, Barenaked Ladies\, and Hootie & The Blowfish. Reuniting once again with Blues Traveler for this year’s tour\, the longtime collaborators are building on the momentum of last summer\, when they took over the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage for an epic mashup — an electric reminder that Gin Blossoms continue to turn nostalgia into something unmistakably alive.
