THE NADAS

Saturday, June 20 | 7:30pm

Celebrated folk-Americana act The Nadas have amassed a loyal and dedicated following over the past three decades for
their engaging live shows and distinctive 70s-meets-90s sound. Blending twangy, Stones-era “country honk” with raw,
alt-rock energy and wistful, folk-leaning melodies, their music is as alive as it is authentic. Over 30 years of making music
together, The Nadas have shared the stage with The Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, Big Head Todd and Barenaked Ladies, been
inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, sold over 300,000 albums (even in a time when you can’t buy a
CD player), earned praise from a wide range of major publications (including Playboy), and written the theme song for
their hometown—twice. They’ve also developed a laid-back, narrative approach to songwriting, drawing inspiration from
acts like The Head and the Heart, Avett Brothers, Indigo Girls, and Tom Petty, to explore the everyday joys and
heartaches that make up a life.
