SUMMARY:20th Anniversary Party
DESCRIPTION:Cedar Ridge is turning 20 years old and we want you to celebrate with us! Join us for a day filled with great music\, a very special anniversary bourbon release\, distillery tours\, library tastings\, and more. Stay tuned for a full schedule of events and get ready for an incredible day! THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ATTEND. There are some additional ticketed activities but no tickets needed to come and celebrate with us! \n12:00-1:00 PM: From the Archives Welcome Reception \nKick off your day at Cedar Ridge with our “From the Archives” Welcome Reception\, where you’ll meet the Cedar Ridge Ownership & Executive Team members. Hear directly from Co-Founders Jeff Quint\, President Jamie Siefken\, and Master Distiller Murphy Quint. Plus\, enjoy an extended library of Cedar Ridge products available for tasting. \nMUSIC LINE UP: \n1:00-4:00pm BILLY HELLER \nBilly Heller has been performing since 1978.From local bands to touring acts as well as various studio projects. Billy has also played alongside Tom Paxton and Willy Porter. His solo shows are fun and unpredictable at times with exciting guitar work and the uncanny ability to imitate the singers he covers.” Billy plays mostly 60’s-80’s music but is certainly not afraid to try anything else that someone might suggest (or shout out) including classic television theme songs and commercials. \n5:00-8:00pm DAVID ZOLLO AND THE BODY ELECTRIC \nSince bursting on to the midwestern music scene with the band High and Lonesome in 1992\, David Zollo has had a busy career. Along with constant touring\, in the U.S and Europe\, with High and Lonesome (1992-1998;) and his current band\, The Body Electric (1998-present) Zollo has recorded 7 releases of his own material\, including the most recent\, “For Hire.” The current iteration of the band is his longest running\, all four members playing together for a decade or more. It consists of Brian Cooper (drums\, percussion\,) Ryan Bernemann (bass guitar\, harmony vocals\,) and Randall Davis (electric\, acoustic\, and pedal steel guitars\,” all of whom are some of the most in-demand musicians in the state of Iowa. In addition\, he founded and operated the seminal\, Iowa-based\, roots music label\, Trailer Records (Bo Ramsey; Joe and Vicki Price; Greg Brown; The Pines; Brother Trucker; Kelly Parkeooper; Pieta Brown\, as well as his own work\, and that of others\, from 1994-2006;) played keyboards and sang harmonies on many records by Nashville folk singer Todd Snider; fellow Iowan William Elliot Whitmore\, and Greg Brown\, amongst many other artists; and worked as a producer (The Pines; Brother Trucker; Kelly Pardekooper.) In 2017\, he also formed a new band with Whitmore\, guitarists Stephen Howard and Steve Doyle\, and Body Electric drummer Brian Cooper\, called Middle Western. Their debut release\, When Your Demons Are Under Ground And You’ve Got To Dig Them Up. was recorded at Lone Tree\, Iowa’s Flat Black Studios\, with Luke Tweedy\, and was released in 2018.  Despite the many things Zollo has done during his career\, it is as a live performer that many feel he’s at his best. Check him out at a venue near you\, or visit www.davezollo.com for a list of upcoming shows.
