Live on Tour 2026
Live @ The EnglertWednesday, July 15 @ 7:30 PM |
|

"There are concerts. And then there are musical events that come across as transcendent experiences, celebrations of songs and sounds and stories that have endured for good reason, live shows that enter the space of the sacred.” - Miers on Music (2025)
"Graham Nash proved why he is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. With his career spanning sixty years, his songs are just as relevant today as they were decades ago... The man has nothing to prove, yet he does it every time he sets foot on stage." - North Coast Music Beat (2025)
Graham Nash will perform a career-spanning retrospective of his six decades of contributions to contemporary music. Joined by Todd Caldwell (keyboards), Adam Minkoff (bass, drums, guitar, and vocals), and Zack Djanikian (guitar, bass, drums, and vocals), Nash will take the audience on a musical journey that encompasses his years with The Hollies, CSN, CSNY, and his beloved solo efforts.
ABOUT GRAHAM NASH Nash is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and with the Hollies. He was also inducted twice into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame, as a solo artist and with CSN, and he is a GRAMMY Award winner. Towering above virtually everything that Graham Nash has accomplished in his multi-faceted career stands the litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of the past half-century. His remarkable body of work, beginning with his contributions to the Hollies opus, including “On a Carousel” and “Carrie Anne,” continues all the way to Now (2023), his most recent solo album.
The original classic union of Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young) lasted but twenty months. Yet their songs are lightning rods embedded in our DNA, starting with Nash’s “Marrakesh Express,” and “Lady of the Island,” from the first Crosby, Stills & Nash LP (1969), and “Teach Your Children” and “Our House” on CSNY’s Déjà Vu (1970).
Nash’s solo career debuted with Songs For Beginners (1971), which included “Chicago/We Can Change the World” and “Military Madness” and others. In addition to his string of solo albums, he has performed and recorded with David Crosby as Crosby/Nash. Their eponymously titled Graham Nash/David Crosby (1972) is bookended by Nash’s “Southbound Train” and “Immigration Man”. |

University of Iowa Lecture Committee PresentsFran Lebowitz
Live @ the EnglertWednesday, April 22nd @ 7:30 PMThis event is free please RSVP at the link below. |
|
| In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators. Her essays and interviews offer acerbic views on current events and the media, as well as a catalogue of pet peeves that includes tourists, baggage-claim areas, aftershave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, and anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review has called Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” A purveyor of urban cool, she is a cultural satirist often described as the heir to Dorothy Parker.
Lebowitz’s wit is famously sharp. On special-interest groups, she has remarked, “Special-interest publications should realize that if they are attracting enough advertising and readers to make a profit, the interest is not so special.” On frankness, she observes, “Spilling your guts is exactly as charming as it sounds.” On herself, she quips, “Success didn’t spoil me, I’ve always been insufferable.” This is Lebowitz off the cuff; her writing—pointed, taut, and economical—is equally forthright, irascible, and unapologetically opinionated.
Lebowitz was inducted into Vanity Fair’s International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 2008 and remains a style icon. She lives in New York City, as she does not believe she would be allowed to live anywhere else. |

The Englert PresentsFruit Bats
Live @ the EnglertWednesday, October 21st @ 7:30 PM |
|
|
Over the course of his now 25-year career under the moniker, most of Eric D. Johnson’s output as Fruit Bats has been the product of patience and fine-tuning. His songs, to borrow a phrase, are slow growers, given life on albums that encompass long stretches of time and memory. Baby Man changed that — he disallowed himself from referring to material he’d been working on before laying the album down, utilizing the morning pages technique of stream-of-consciousness, observational songwriting which flowed directly into his afternoon recording sessions. It was both a breathtaking document of Johnson’s skill as a singer-songwriter and an unvarnished account of the two weeks in which he recorded the album.
Baby Man’s closeness to Johnson’s heart and the close attention to his voice and instrument its minimalist-maximalist ethos required uncorked something in him as he wrote towards a new full band effort. “That session was over,” he explains, “but there was way more to explore. I liked the immediacy of it, and I wanted to see how that would translate into a full-band Fruit Bats record.” Within weeks, he was back in a studio, this time with his band — David Dawda (bass), Josh Mease (guitars, synth), Frank LoCrasto (piano, synth), and Kosta Galanopoulos (drums) — with whom Johnson has spent over a decade building Fruit Bats into one of the most in-demand live acts in indie rock. Listening to The Landfill, it’s not hard to understand why: simply put, this band smokes. |
