As musicians and bands cancel sets and tours throughout the country during the COVID-19 pandemic we sure are missing live music in our city! Here’s a list of over 40 great Iowa acts who have graced us with their presence at 80/35 and remain important staples to their own music scenes and proudly represent Iowa out on the road! Dig in, purchase some albums, and help support our music community!

*This list was gathered with acts who have played 80/35 just the past few years. The talent goes way beyond this! Feel free to email info@desmoinesmc.com to recommend more links and keep an eye out for more great local acts we’ll continue to share and support.
