Well I definitely plan on seeing him live at some point and I will go nuts for Decoration Day. How often does he come around Iowa or at least within a few hours drive of the Ames area?
Not sure...I'd assume by now he'd maybe play in a good sized theater in Des Moines or so if he comes through the midwest.
He was up in Sioux City for the Saturday in the Park festival this past summer. The last time he was in Des Moines was about two years ago at Hoyt Sherman. I have no insider info here, but just based on recent lineups I would guess that he'll eventually be a part of the Hinterland festival.
