The Englert Presents Kathleen Edwards Live @ The Englert Thursday, October 30th @ 7:30 PM Sponsored by Best Case Wines | | Just a few months out from the release of her newest album, Billionaire, Kathleen Edwards will be bringing her lyrical sharpness and unflinching observations to the Englert stage.
"She sings of the simple absurdity of life, the heartache and humour that accrues from the pursuit of happiness and the endurance of pain. The vicissitudes of relationships good and bad along with the trials of ageing or the challenges of youth. She communicates these vagaries of being in a way that is at times nostalgic and poignant and at others raw and angry but always, above all, affecting and hugely relatable. The songs here are laced with vulnerability, regret, even remorse but they are never resigned or powerless and always etched with hope, wit and the promise of better times ahead. All of this plays out to a dazzling soundtrack, deftly combining the essentials of country, rock, and folk to fashion the sound that remains uniquely and unmistakably Edwards’ own," (Americana-uk). | |  | | Heads in Motion perform Stop Making Sense at the Capitol Theatre | | The Englert Presents Heads in Motion: Talking Heads Tribute with Plastic Relations (performing a tribute to David Bowie) Live @ The Englert Saturday, November 1st @ 7:30 PM | | A live performance of the band Heads in Motion shot over the course of three nights at Iowa City's Englert Theatre in November of 2025 and featuring the Talking Heads most memorable songs.
