Freakin’ Weekend: Barnstormer

dawesLet’s face it – unless you’re hankering for some jam rock, it’s going to be a pretty slow weekend for the arts in Iowa City. You’ve got chances to catch up on Euforquestra, Public Property (Yacht Club) and Dennis McMurrin (the Mill), but other than that the pickings seem rather slim. So consider this your last minute reminder: the Daytrotter Barnstormer Tour begins today in Milwaukee! We’ve already given you the rundown, but peep the dates below to see if there’s something you can check out this weekend, and then don’t forget that the closest it gets to Iowa City is West Liberty on Monday night, and if you can’t make it to any of the barn shows this weekend, you should definitely hit that one up. See you there!
