Stranger Than Fiction (The Iowa Band)

Del Schmidt and Larry “Red” Stoltenberg met as ISU students in the early 1980s and have been rockin' the folk out of the Central Iowa music scene for four decades in bands such as The Sofa Kings, The Mooncats, and Mother Dugan. Tony Stevens is an award-winning percussion instructor from a Southern California family steeped in musical performance. On stage since age 15, Tony has pounded out rock, pop, gospel, jazz, and Afro-Cuban beats with various bands across the country. Another California native, James Webb is a regular studio musician who met his wife, Lisa, at music school in Missouri. They perform together as "Coffee Shop Romance." Joe Brekke started singing with Home Brew in Decorah, Iowa, before moving to California and performing regularly at The Tavern in San Luis Obispo with Yard Sale. Together, when we make these good vibrations, we’re Stranger Than Fiction.
