SUMMARY:SHOUT SISTERS
DESCRIPTION:Shout Sisters is an exciting collaboration featuring Iowa vocalists Betsy Hickok\, Lynne Rothrock\, and Evelyn Rush. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering Boswell Sisters — an influential 1920s New Orleans trio known for their adventurous style — the group delivers tight harmonies\, playful rhythms\, and fresh takes on early jazz arrangements. \nBacked by a band featuring Julia Andrews (piano)\, Ron Roberts (guitar)\, Lynne Hart (sax and clarinet)\, Vivian Shanley (bass)\, and Greg Kanz (percussion)\, Shout Sisters brings together some of Iowa’s top performers to present an entertaining evening of lively vintage jazz — served up with plenty of humor. \nVocalist Betsy Hickok is known for her interpretations of jazz standards and frequent collaborations with top regional musicians at venues and festivals across the state. Lynne Rothrock is a versatile vocalist who performs nationally and is known for her expressive style and engaging stage presence across a wide range of musical styles. Evelyn Rush completes the package as an Eastern Iowa vocalist with a wide variety of repertoire and styles at the ready and advanced training in voice production and education.

SUMMARY:KITTY STEADMAN
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Kitty Steadman has spent the better part of a decade carving her own path through the Americana scene — equal parts grit\, heart\, and wanderlust. Known for her powerhouse vocals and vivid storytelling\, Kitty first made waves as the frontwoman and primary songwriter for Drop Dead Dangerous\, the high-energy Southern rock and roots outfit that earned a devoted following across the country. While her time with the band shaped her voice and drive\, Kitty’s solo work reveals a new depth — more personal\, more honest\, and more her. Her songs balance edge and empathy\, celebrating resilience and connection with a voice that feels lived-in and true. From the songwriter rounds of Nashville to the sun-soaked stages of Key West\, Kitty’s shows blend energy\, intimacy\, and community. Her fans — lovingly known as the Steadheads — have followed her through every musical chapter\, from rowdy full-band anthems to stripped-down storytelling nights. Her forthcoming project\, The Orchid\, recorded in Key West\, marks the next evolution of her sound: rooted in her past\, but boldly blooming into something entirely her own.
