Cedar County Cobras AND The Savage Hearts

Sponsored by KCJJ Radio

About:  

Cedar County Cobras arrive with an upright bass, foot drum, and several guitars to play American Roots & Blues music from the last century. The music takes on an “old time” blues feel that would most likely be found in a juke-joint down a gravel road in rural Iowa. They have played over 800 shows at venues from the small-town dive bar to the festival stage. In 2023, the duo released their debut album “Homesick Blues” which has been charting worldwide and placed in the top acoustic blues records of 2024. They are the winners of the solo/duo category for the Iowa Blues Challenge and recently placed as semi-finalists at the 2025 International Blues Festival in Memphis.
