Okay, I’m officially psyched for Independence Day. Not because of grilling out and a cold beer. Not because of family picnics and those little kiddie pools. Not because of fireworks and trying to decide if *this* is the finale. And not because of patriotism (although that’s a close second).
I’m excited because I’m headed to Iowa and will be hitting the 80/35 Music Festival, which is putting Central Iowa on the map as a summer musical destination (I can’t believe I wrote that, but it’s true so I did).
Just check out these bands.
