Cedar Rapids, Iowa

August 21, 2025

 

By Phillip Smith; August 23, 2025

 

Thursday nights in August is well-known for live jazz and blues music in Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. KCCK 88.3 a local college radio station is very focused on keeping those genres of music alive. Their Jazz Under the Stars series brings the community together every week for exquisite live music in a very much relaxed atmosphere. I absolutely love it. Last night the lineup featured a selection of top blues musicians who call Iowa their home. To see Kevin Burt, Billylee Janey, Bryce Janey, Dennis “Daddy-O” McMurrin and the Mighty Mouse Rhythm Section comprised of ‘DJ’ Dan Johnson, and Eric Douglas all on stage together is nothing less than spectacular. Opening for this Iowa-based blues super-group was 10th Street Rapids, a very talented youth group which I am sure we will hear more from.
