Willy Porter
<p>Willy Porter at CSPS Hall on Thursday, September 19, 2024 @ 7PM.</p> <p> </p> <p>Some folks are lucky to find what they love to do at an early age and quietly setlle in for the long haul expanding and developing their work over the arc of a lifetime. Willy Porter is one of those artists. He has followed his own path to explore the sacred language that music truly is. 30 years after his solo recording debut, he continues to reach further into his guitar and pen while stretching the form of what his own music can be. He recently released his 13th full length album <em>The Ravine</em> in September 2023.</p> <p> </p> <p>His journey has been defined by an inquisitive love for humanity and the language that describes what we all hold to be true. Porter's songs weave a universal perspective about the questions, struggles, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar-driven grit, soul, silence, and muscle - at times electrifying, dynamic, and unique in the way that Porter's voice blends and fuses with his fret work.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is a General Admission seated show held in the Main Theater of CSPS Hall. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime.</p> <p> </p> <p>$25 Advance | $30 Door</p> 2024-09-05 22:00:00 -0500CSPS HallCedar Rapids25 -
Halfloves and Dickie
<p>Halfloves and Dickie at CSPS Hall on Friday, September 20, 2024 @ 8PM.</p> <p> </p> <p>Halfloves is a 5 piece indie rock band from Iowa City. Each member found a passion for music in different setting and styles growing up (classical, jazz, hardcore, indie) which makes for a collaborative and unique range of influences and sounds. With two full albums and several singles produced by Brandon Darner (prod. of Imagine Dragons, Dave Keuning of the Killers, etc.) Halfloves have gotten attention from a wide variety of music critics including Anthony Fantano (The Needle Drop) who likened the bands song <i>A Little Lie</i> to Brit rock legends Radiohead.</p> <p> </p> <p>Singer-songwriter Dick Prall is what they call a "musician's musician". Never the flashiest or most recognizable guy on the block, bring his name up in any group of musicians who know him and you'll get the same reaction: "Man, this guy is good". Prall's sound has enamored listeners with melodies and lyrics that work their way deep into your chest and set up camp. Reminiscent of William Elliot Whitmore with a more refined pop sensibility, Prall's work captures the paradox of loving and longing in a way that keeps you singing along while driving a stake through your heart.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is a General Admisison seated show held in the Main Theater of CSPS Hall. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime.</p> <p> </p> <p>$12 Advance | $15 Door</p> 2024-09-05 23:00:00 -0500CSPS HallCedar Rapids12 -

Matt the Electrician
<p>Matt the Electrician at CSPS Hall on Sunday, September 22, 2024 @ 6:30 PM.</p> <p> </p> <p>Matt the Electrician is Matthew Sever, a quirky, sincere folk/pop singer songwriter based in Austin, TX. He has self-released 11 studio albums and 2 live CDs since 1998. His most recent release <em>The Ocean Knocked Me Down</em> came out on February 2, 2024.</p> <p> </p> <p>To call this a pandemic record might be slightly misguided, even though most of the songs were in fact written during 2020 and 2021. But the vibe of the record is upbeat, weird, and fun, and sometimes sad, but hopeful, and occasionally poignant, and silly, and hopeful, but ridiculous, and also hopeful. You might think that's a lot of vibes, but there are 16 songs on the record, because we've all been through a lot, and so Matt figure that, this time, everyone deserved a few more songs and a few more vibes than usual.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is a General Admission seated show held in the Main Theater of CSPS Hall. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime.</p> <p> </p> <p>$20 Advance | $25 Door</p> 2024-09-05 21:30:00 -0500CSPS HallCedar Rapids20
