Come down for the show Wednesday night and help raise some money for United Action for Youth !!

One week from today, we hope to see you at the Trumpet Blossom Cafe for a concert benefiting UAY! Hear from a former youth from the 90's while they're on tour, and make a difference by supporting the youth of today!

Trumpet Blossom gets a quick mention in this article detailing why Iowa City is a great place to visit

What a lovely profile of our quirky, literate community! Many thanks to CNN Travel and Barry Neild (a truly delightful human being) for the kind and thoughtful words about our neighbors, such as Prairie Lights, Trumpet Blossom, Little Village, Beadology Iowa, and more! Well, and us too. He even mentioned our cat 📚❤️🙏
