We're THRILLED to welcome for the first time AWFUL PURDIES to our Maquoketa stage.A Folk-Americana collective of five multi-instrumental women who have been weaving stories, harmonies, and humor into the fabric of the Midwest music scene -- strengthening the fabric of Eastern Iowa.
"As they celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2026, they’re releasing 20 singles — collectively forming their fifth studio album — a love letter to where they’ve been and an invitation to where they’re going next."
And not only that! Opening the night will be Simon Cropp gifting us with his plainspoken storytelling, channeling classic country themes of love, heartbreak, and the landscapes he travels through. He's a flatpick guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and country and bluegrass songwriter that you'll remember from last year's Slapdash Bluegrass show.
FREE ADMISSION. Bring lawn chairs. Food for purchase from Tri-M BBQ.
