PAT MEADE   

Born and raised on a farm in Iowa City, Pat spent his childhood immersed in agriculture, cowboying and country music.  He remembers farming with horses, ropin calves and steer wrestling at local rodeos and playing with an area dance band during high school.  Adulthood found him busy making a living farming, the cowboying turned to working cattle on horseback and trail riding and the music was set aside.  Recently Pat has had the chance to return to his musical roots.  Everyone will enjoy Pat strumming his guitar and singing cowboy ballads.                

 
                                                                              GENTRY HAWK

Hawk began his musical career at age twelve playing the drums with a local country western band in Iowa, the "Tuckers".  Performing mostly in local VFW clubs He knew immediately he loved to perform in front of audiences.  Hawk continued to play drums until discovering he had a knack for playing the guitar.  Hawk quickly traded drums for his first acoustic guitar.  Hawk is the real deal.  Western lawman, cowboy and singer, songwriter.  Hawk combines western tradition, history and his own stories, giving the audience an experience to remember.
