PLAYLISTS: The Uncertainty Music Festival 2018
Today, we present to you four playlists - from YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Spotify - featuring artists who will be appearing at the Uncertainty Festival in Ames, IA, from Thurs, Apr 19, to Sat, Apr 21. For more information, you can go to http://www.novalabs.info/uncertainty-festival-2018/.
It's a fairly eclectic collection of blues, electronic music, folk music, indie music, among other genres. So have a listen, and if it sounds good, drop by Ames and check out the bands live!
"It’s just the second year for the Uncertainty Festival, but the music event has already grown to a three-day affair rather than two. The downtown Ames music fest will be held Thursday, April 19, through Saturday, April 21, and will include four showcases of talent, two of which will offer free admission.
"With a hint of a science theme, the Uncertainty Festival will have three parts: Particle, Wave and Light...
"Dudley said he’s excited by the growth of the Uncertainty Festival’s second year and hopes to expand it even further next year. 'It’s been an amazing experience,” he said. “This year we have all-Iowa performers. We feel like we have some of the greatest bands in the state.'”
- from the article, "Uncertainty Festival returns to downtown Ames April 19-21", by Ronna Lawless, in The Ames Tribune

PLAYLISTS: We're Back!
Well, yours truly, Dan OlderMusicGeek, had to take a few weeks off to get some things in my life back in proper order, leaving me no time for Iowa Music Showcase.
But we're back now! And to celebrate, I created a playlist of songs from Iowa artists about coming back and returning, or just doing something again.
Again, as with most of our Spotify playlists, these songs are in no particular order and are best listened to in shuffle play.

Leave me alone! I'm resting!
Okay, if you read the social media's "One year ago..." post or just remember from last November, most of this is going to be a rerun.
But in November, I take it easy. Do some behind the scenes stuff. But no podcasts, playlists, or anything else!

PLAYLISTS: Iowa Halloween Music (on Spotify and YouTube)
I won't lie, Iowa Music Scene! You have let me down! You are not deserving to be an assistant to The Evil Doctor OlderMusicGeek!
I gave you a simple assignment! And a year to do it! And still you have failed me!
Eye-gor from "Young Frankenstein" could do a better job!
There are still no Iowa Halloween music playlists except my own!
Am I forever damned to live an eternity of listening to Iowa-made Halloween music that only I have discovered?! What a sad and weary life some of us horror clichés live!
Well, anyway, you useless lot, I have again made a second playlist. Okay, it's first time to make this second playlist. I mean I made second playlists before. But this is the first second playlist for Iowa Halloween music. I think!
Damn you, lot! You have made my brain befuddled as your own!
*Sigh* Okay, I have made a second playlist of Halloween music from Iowa (and Omaha) music acts. This time from YouTube.
If you can't manage to make your own playlist, you can dare provide suggestions for mine at iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com.
I have also made a few additions to the Spotify playlist I made last year and have included it too!

PLAYLISTS: Iowa Stock 2017 Spotify Playlist
Sorry this is so late. Family matters kept me from working on my side project, this website.
This week is, I hope, the first of numerous playlists featuring acts from the Iowa Stock music festival going down this Labor Day weekend.
UPDATE 12 Aug 2017 - Iowa Stock has announced that it will have to cut back on some of the acts - http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/08/10/really-believe-after-few-calls-and-emails-still-going-solid-event-even-if-im-not-one-bring-home/555560001/. So with that being said, I won't be doing any more playlists since I'm not sure who will be playing.
If you haven't heard, for 4 days, in St Charles, you will be able to check all Iowa music acts from various genres on various stages. You can check out all the details here - https://iowastock.com/
But basically, this is the kind of music festival that Iowa Music Showcase would put on if we had the money and the time. Kind of like a gigantic version of Iowa Music Showcase Live, the show we did back in February.
So I put together a playlist featuring all the Iowa Stock acts that I could find on Spotify. If I missed anyone, please let me know!

PLAYLISTS: A Father's Day Playlist
Sorry, I try not to put up two playlists in a row. And I try to put out a podcast every four weeks. But family going-ons got in the way.
I have it recorded, but I'm not going to write the accompanying web posts.
So in honor of the day today, I haphazardly slapped this playlist together so I'd have something up this week.
Happy Father's Day to all my fellow dads out there!

Welcome to the last of our 4-part series honoring 40th anniversary of the greatest movie ever made!
We took a detour with the last 2 parts, one with non-Iowan midwestern artists and one that feature Iowa artists but wasn't really Star Wars music. With this one, we return to music inspired by Star Wars from Iowa artists!
And as a bonus, we feature the second album from The Han Solo Project below!
So let's join some Iowans on a visit to a long time ago in a galaxy far. far away!

PLAYLISTS - Iowa Star Wars Music, Parts 1-3: The Phantom Iowa Star Wars Spotify Playlist
This is kinda Star Wars, but kinda not. This is a Spotify playlist of tunes by Iowa artists that feature either "star" or "war" in their titles.
And as there is enough here for three podcast episodes, consider this our version of the prequel trilogy.

IOWA MUSIC SHOWCASE PODCAST - Episode 46: Iowa Star Wars Music, Part 4 of 9 - May the Fortieth be with You!
Welcome to the FIRST of our four-part series celebrating the greatest movie that was ever made!
And what, you ask, does Iowa have to do with Star Wars?
Not a whole lot! George Lucas isn't from here. And despite what you see on Facebook, Star Wars has been and never will be filmed here!
But a certain 13 year old from Des Moines, Iowa, did check out the film at the glorious, though torn down, Riviera/River Hills Theater! And he was blown away! And has been a die hard fan for 40 years!
A few years later, he discovered punk and the alternative music scene! And since that time, music and Star Wars have always played a central part in his life.
And it seems I am not the only Iowan like this! There are others! Others who actually know how to write and play instruments! And these Iowans have, like me here, combined their love of music and Star Wars.
And I am proud to present their work on the 40th anniversary of the greatest movie ever made!
I've also included a couple of bonus features.
Tom Hummer has done two albums of Star Wars related music under the name, The Han Solo Project. I've included the first of those two here. And I'll include the second one with the next podcast.
I've also included a video of The University of Northern Iowa Marching Band doing some Star Wars music.
