Some years ago, Iowa City singer Betsy Hickok was looking for a guitarist to collaborate with. Some friends connected her with Central Iowa musician Ron Roberts (an acoustical researcher at ISU by day). To say the two hit it off is a bit of an understatement, since soon thereafter they were married!
The two lived and performed in Ames and Des Moines for several years, before returning (for Betsy, at least), to Iowa City.
Betsy and Ron bring a quintet to Jazz Under the Stars on Aug. 11, and promise a program of familiar and new standards. Our Young Artists opening act is YesterNite, featuring recent grads from Liberty High School.
And bring a shopping bag, because it’s also KCCK’s Album & CD Sale. Hundreds of vintage vinyl and CDs, for just $1 a disk!
6:30pm Aug. 11 at Noelridge Park. More info at www.kcck.org.
