Event Description

Ames has been holding onto this one long enough. Based out of Ames, Andy Juhl and the Bluestem Players pop up in Eastern Iowa at The Ideal Theater & Bar on Friday, October 23. Juhl's music moves through effect-driven guitar, synthesized textures, heartfelt melodies, and the occasional time-signature turn that catches the ear before the mind can count it. The Bluestem Players bring that vision to life as a full band, opening the songs into something immersive, exploratory, and made for a close room. Their newest release, The Ice Cave EP, arrived in March 2026, adding another long-form chapter to a catalog nearly two decades deep. Now the 130 miles between Ames and Cedar Rapids close for a night. After a commanding debut at The Ideal just this year, Marion's own Alyssa Schlicht, performing as blueeyeddaze, opens the evening. Friday, October 23, 2026 Doors 7 PM · Show 8 PM · All Ages The Ideal Theater & Bar · 213 16th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids $16 + fees
