About:
Mektoub performs a variety of Mediterranean folk-jazz and original music by singer/songwriter Nielo Gaglione, an immigrant to Iowa from Southern France. Nielo’s compositional style is rooted in influences from reggae, jazz, and musical traditions from North Africa, and his joyful lyrics often speak to values of social progress and love. Nielo, John Rapson, and Ryan Smith began Mektoub in 2019 in Iowa City and before the pandemic could most frequently be found performing at Goosetown Café in Iowa City. Their first album Elizabeth includes new members and releases in April of 2022.

About:
Columbia, Missouri trio The Hooten Hallers are a high-energy blues-rock band known for hard-traveling and wild live shows, with a seemingly endless tour schedule. The myriad of influences in their music incorporates elements of rhythm & blues, rock’n’roll, honky tonk, jazz, soul, and punk with a thematic penchant for the strange and the unexplained. Their live shows take the listener on a seamless ride from unapologetically raucous blues on the lap steel and bass sax, to a sweet three-part harmony country ballad, to a romping dance number.
