| Fri 11.16 | Jon McLaughlin & Matt Wertz | Jon McLaughlin & Matt Wertz in | |
|
WIN/WIN TOUR 2018 Jon released his debut album, Indiana, in 2007 on Island Def Jam, attracting fans with his heartfelt, hook-laden songwriting and impassioned delivery. He’s released four full-lengths in the ten years since and revealed a true evolution in both his piano playing and singing. He’s played shows with Billy Joel, Kelly Clarkson and Adele, collaborated with longtime friend Sara Bareilles, co-written with Demi Lovato and even performed at the Academy Awards in 2008. Jon’s album, Like Us, dropped in October of 2015 via Razor & Tie, and he spent the past few years touring extensively before heading back into his Nashville studio to work on new music. A self-made singer/songwriter, Matt Wertz spent years creating soulful, feel-good pop music on his own terms. Nashville — a city that doubled as his muse and adopted hometown — always played a big role in that creation process. It was the place where Wertz wrote his songs, the place he recorded his albums, the place he’d return after touring the country with songwriters like Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, Parachute and Gavin DeGraw. More than a decade into a career filled with commercial success and touring milestones, Matt Wertz remains proud to be an independent singer/songwriter. But don’t mistake Gun Shy for the sort of intimate album you’d hear at your local coffee shop. These are not acoustic guitar songs. They’re songs built on laptops and driven forward by dance beats. Songs that move you physically and emotionally. Songs that splash Wertz’s super-sized hooks across the backdrop of the Los Angeles skyline, creating their own brand of scenery along the way. Time: 8:00pm. Admission: $25. Age restrictions: 19+ After 10 pm. Buy tickets |

| Sat 12.15 | Dan Tedesco + Jason Walsmith (of The Nadas) | Dan Tedesco + Jason Walsmith (of The Nadas) in | |
|
Jason Walsmith is the founding singer songwriter of the band The Nadas. When performing solo, Jason gives intimate acoustic versions of a careers worth of fan favorite songs. Dan Tedesco is the quintessential modern-day troubadour, narrating the American experience in song honestly and intimately, and with a big sound to boot. A solo artist, Tedesco’s stage show is framed by a minimalist production that finds him belting out folk-spiced rockers from behind both acoustic and electric guitars while foot-stomping percussion rounds out many of the arrangements—this is one solo artist who won’t seem out of place on a bill with rock bands. Interludes at the piano lighten the mood a little, but only a little, as the distorted Rhodes and Wurly sounds only contribute to Dan’s stage presence.
Time: 8:00pm. Admission: $10 Advanced // $12 Day of Show. Age restrictions: 19+ After 10 pm. Buy tickets |

| Fri 12.21 | Jazz After Five | Jazz After Five in | |
|
w. Steve Grismore Trio Jazz After Five was conceived by local jazz musician and University of Iowa music professor Brent Sandy.

Iowa City residents, U of Iowa college students, and even interested high school students can now swing by and enjoy new and original jazz compositions within the cozy and intimate confines of the Mill. Local jazz collector, DJ, critic, enthusiast Craig Kessler took the curatorial reigns in Spring 2014 upholding Sandy’s original vision of supporting a robust and captivating local jazz scene. Now, Jazz guitarist & University of Iowa professor Steve Grismore is at the helm! MUSIC goes until 7:00pm. Time: 5:00pm. Admission: Free Admission. Age restrictions: All Ages. |
