Now Hear This is a music series done in collaboration between Orchestra Iowa and GmixEast. The purpose of the series is to introduce, or sometimes reintroduce, an artist to an audience. It is a space for an artist to grow their art, their business acumen, their presentation and/or performance. It is dedicated to being a safe space for artistic exploration and a place of learning the business side of the music business.

Curated and managed by the team at GmixEast and with all the proceeds, after a small Opus expense, going to the artists, this is an investment by GmixEast and Orchestra Iowa in our arts community. A way to give back and nurture, Now Hear This is a showcase of the finest Eastern Iowa talent, an incubator for art, and a resource for an audience to hear something new.

September’s Artist is “The Misgivings”

The Misgivings are an Americana trio with soulful vocals, captivating harmonies and a blend of folk and blues elements. Their original music is written with hope, ache, dreams, and misgivings. With Scott Reynen on guitar and piano, Billy Ford on bass and cajon, and Amy Ford on mandolin, guitar, and bass, this group is bound to fill your heart with hope.

Doors open at 6:30pm with the show starting at 7:00pm. Tickets are $15 available through the Orchestra Iowa ticket office, online at artsiowa.com, or at the door the evening of the event as available.
