Cory Waller and the Wicked Things
Grown from the black dirt that Iowa is known for, Cory Waller and The Wicked Things are a band of hard-working friends, sons and daughters of farmers and small-town folks. The band has traversed the Midwest sharing their brand of black dirt country music; sometimes, the shows The Wicked Things play have more people than those of their hometowns. The band's namesake, Cory Waller, started playing music with bass player Ethridge Netz when they were in middle school and honed his country craft with lead electric guitar player Ronley King in dives and bars across Iowa in his 20s—joined by fierce vocalist and acoustic guitar player Emilee Johnson, and the backbone of the band, drummer Kaleb Ferry. They write music and perform for the people they grew up around...you!
The Also-Rans
Described by Tone Magazine as "crisp Americana", this Madison-based super-group of sorts see four veterans of the Madison music scene bring all their talents and experience to bear, creating a sound that encompasses elements of Americana, Country, and Indie Rock, played with emotion and finesse.
