Oh, My Iowa! – Songs & Stories of the Heartland CD

OH, MY IOWA! Is a rousing musical tribute to the heart of the heartland, the amazing state of Iowa! Folks may not realize it, but the Great American Songbook, old and new, is chock full of songs written in Iowa, about Iowa and from such illuminous Iowans as songwriter Bart Howard, Glenn Miller, Meredith Wilson and the Everly Brothers. This grand state was the inspiration for Dvorak’s New World Symphony and Is the home to the original church in the classic “The Church in the Wildwood,” not to mention the film classic “Field of Dreams.” The stories of Iowa are rich and inspiring. The Browns, and award-winning musical family, have created this genre-busting 90-minute musical revue for the Browns Century Theater in Le Mars, Iowa, celebrating the very best that the Hawkeye State has to offer. Listeners and the theatergoers alike are sure to be tapping their toes and singing along!
