Dead LarryDead Larry’s powerful blend of high energy rock, dance and funk shakes the foundation of modern music. From rock driven sea shanties to pulsating dance beats. From Beatle-esque harmonies to spine chilling screams. From shake-yo-booty funk jams to orchestral themes of space and time travel. Dead Larry is one thing: Original. The band was formed in a basement in high school, and after nearly 10 years of writing, touring, and chasing the dream Dead Larry has a grown to be one of the most prominent independent rock bands coming out of the Midwest. "An all too short set by psychedelic funk pop band, Dead Larry, from Iowa City, Iowa, was all I needed to realize where the great music truly was. Lead singer/rhythm guitarist Mark McGuiness screamed his lyrics with rock 'n' roll conviction to the raw and dark simplicity of the musical compromise that is the rest of the band. Each member worked their musical niche to create something greater than themselves that is Dead Larry." - Travis Beck (The Daily Nebraskan) on Dead Larry's set during 10,000 Lakes Festival 2008."Dead Larry’s music combines psychedelic rock, funk and pop to create a non-stop party." - Tim Gavin (The Daily Iowan)"Dead Larry is amazing! They have that rare combination of incredible diversity and substance, while still dropping funky beats that keep your booty moving!" - Mark Murphy, WookieFoot

Guss RoyallGuss Royall is an Alt Rock band from Northeast Iowa. Having quickly gained notoriety in the top clubs in the area they've broadened their schedule to include some very successful appearances including in 2015 where they took part in Mumford &amp; Sons' Gentlemen of the Road festival in Waverly, Iowa. Later that year they were to share the stage with Scott Weiland, but he unfortunately passed away just days before.2018 saw Guss Royall join Waterloo Iowa’s annual celebration ‘My Waterloo Days’ at the Riverloop Amphitheater as well as being invited to play ‘The Galactic Get-Down Music Festival’ in Houston, MN. Currently, GR has three five song LP's out: Guss Royall Side A, Guss Royall Side B, and Fate, Pride, &amp; Bowties (all produced with Michael Cutsforth, Mix Castle Recording). In late summer of ‘17 GR participated in their first and only ever battle of the bands hosted by Forte Studio (Boone, IA). After being judged by a board comprised of some of Iowa’s most accredited musicians and inductees of the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, they won. The prize was a fully produced album free of charge, which was released Jan 1, 2019.The goal is to get new music out and be heard! High energy live performances are their strong suite and they’d love the chance to play for you! If you'd like to hear Guss Royall's music, you can find all current recording's on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, etc. Keep an eye out for New Music, coming soon. Until then, catch Guss Royall live throughout Iowa and the Midwest fine tuning their craft, putting out good vibes in hope of getting them good vibes in return.
