Fred Love is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Ames. Fred has always thought of his music as an extension of the most primal forms in the American songbook. His direct blend of country, folk and blues lends his songs an immediacy that taps into the hearts of the wanderers, misfits and strangers that haunt America's rural interior. You can often find him setting up his guitar and microphone stand in an out-of-the-way watering hole on the plains, serving up his original compositions alongside classic numbers from the likes of Lightnin' Hopkins and Hank Williams.
Wally Neal, a puzzled pilgrim, carrying a wild, drifting collection of verse and fingerstyle guitar, where soundboards sing like ancient trees and meteors hum in the space between.
