Joe & Vicki Price
May 17 @ 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
| $7A righteous, joyful, foot-stomping jubilee, Joe & Vicki Price catapult the blues. A bit rough & tons of fun.
Joe grew up in blue collar Waterloo, Iowa. Seeking out the sounds of Black musical voices he was drawn to the Blues. Hearing Earl Hooker perform at a local record store slide guitar became his weapon of choice. He met Vicki in a bar in Waukon, Iowa. She had grown up in the church singing duets with her sister. At the time she met Joe she was playing guitar and performing locally. They exchanged tunes that night and began their life long musical journey.

They have spent a lifetime touring, living most of their married life on the road. They have shared the stage with John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, Honey Boy Edwards and many more. They have been regular performers at Buddy Guy’s Legends. Weather playing a bar, a concert stage or a festival their warmth and humor draw the audience in to make everyone feel like they’re at a party with all their best friends.
Iowa blues legends Joe and Vicki Price sound like two guitars being played by a single, unified mind – with tone that would make Hound Dog Taylor blush. Joe stomps and slides his feet around with all the irresistible rhythms that drive the guitar groove. Serving up blues based roots music, they are one of those little treasures we’ve been hiding out here in the heartland waiting for the rest of you to catch up with what people with the blues in Iowa can deliver. A really great, heartfelt diversion from the mainstream their live show is an absolute joy to behold.
Come join the party. They are more fun than baby goats. The hat will be passed. We ask for $7 per adult listener. The show will be outside, weather permitting.
