The Insider Sessions are inspired by the emotion, power, and soul that go into one, simple song. The aim is to get closer and more personal to the music and the art. The acoustic sound, I believe, is perfect for this. It allows you to hear only instruments, only voice, no background fuzz, and nothing channeling the noise but our own ears. The artists will choose their own place to play, sometimes in a van, sometimes on a bus, sometimes simply in an alley way; either way each session is authentic and personal. So take a look at these artists, some are from Iowa, some just passing through, and as you'll sometimes find, just getting started. Listen and enjoy the sounds that erupt throughout our beautiful state.

Dr. Z’s Experiment is just that. The group’s sound is an experiment of blues, jazz, and whatever other influence the boys feel like trying out that day. What resounds is a funky, sometimes comical (referring to a song they named after Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit), and lively rhythm that will be sure to get you off your chair, or pillow, or whatever you may be sitting on. Steve and Ryan met up with me in the barn and with a killer harmonica jam and Ryan’s beautiful guitar picking I was pleasantly surprised. I’m always a blues fan and when they chose that for their session I have to say I was won over. Thanks Boys!
