Kenyon at The Ideal

Since 2020, Des Moines has lost several cornerstones of its live music scene, from small clubs to major festivals. The closures have narrowed the path for local artists to develop, even as new venues and entertainment giants reshape how live music operates in the metro.

I am looking for a technologically savvy individual to develop a workflow using Zapier. I need a Zapier automation to email weekly ticket sales summaries to artists with shows on sale at The Ideal. Please comment or DM me with any ideas.

Build and scale AI workflows and agents across 8,000+ apps with Zapier—the most connected AI orchestration platform. Trusted by 3 million+ businesses.

Looking to stock my roster of club/house DJs. There’s gotta be some holed up in a basement laying down beats. Flush em out for me.

P.S. I have the sound system AND the deck (thanks for your donation Casey Klein). Just need the DJs. Tag em!!!

Who should open for J Edwards Music on Aug 30? VERY old school outlaw country-blues.

Need to get this show on sale. Hit me with ideas.

Hello boys and girls,

Lately I have fielded tons of inquiries about weddings, i.e. rehearsal dinners, receptions, and even the ceremony itself.

I don’t know anything about weddings or the wedding industry. I don’t know the right questions to ask, the right vendors/caterers, the set up, none of it. I can count on one hand the amount of weddings I’ve ever even been to.

I’m looking to partner with a wedding planner who knows what they’re doing and can run with it. I’ll help out with entertainment and bar packages; they handle everything else. The problem is that I don’t really know any.

Do you? Send them my way: [email protected]

It's been awhile, Kobe. Let's jam.

I’m not even sure what I’m most excited for. Kobe Williams hosting THE GROOVE GARDEN for the first time? Don’t & The Spurs performing for FREE? Swavv, Alicia Moneé and more performing live FOLLOWED by Night? Or our very first Sunday show with up-and-comers out of Omaha?

Maybe I’m most excited for another Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita 🍹 Happy Freedom Week!!!!

At risk of playing favorites, Maaaze absolutely knocked my socks off last night. It was an amazing show and thank you to all the bands, most especially 10 Watt Robot, for putting the bill together. 🤘
