WELCOME TO

Sioux City Almost smack dab in the middle of the country, in the northwest corner of Iowa sits Sioux City, perched on the Missouri River. Once the edge of the frontier, Sioux City was a major pit stop for many an expedition making its way across the Great Plains. Its robust industrial past has now been replaced with a rich cultural present, making it one of Iowa’s biggest entertainment destinations. Popular areas include 4th street and the Pearl Street bar districts, which have both flourished in the last decade. Rising right alongside them is a burgeoning local music scene, which includes every genre from soul and rap to metal and indie. So who better to guide you than the musicians who call the city home? As you scroll through these pages, discover where to eat, drink and explore through the eyes of a local. Welcome to Sioux City.

MEET YOUR GUIDES Emily Johnson Band

The Emily Johnson Band performs classic soul and R&B with a timeless sound and dynamic stage presence. Their deep knowledge of the old school imbues their music with confident authenticity. Already legendary in their native Sioux City, they’ve shared the stage with world-famous acts like Jefferson Starship and the Devon Allman Band. Playing vintage favorites from Aretha Franklin to James Brown, as well as modern soul compositions, EJB are sure to delight connoisseurs and causal fans alike.

Bucii

Hailing from the “Corn Coast” of Iowa, rapper Bucii got his start practicing rhymes during late-night freestyling sessions with friends. While his early experimentation helped refine his technique, it wasn’t until his brother’s death that Bucii began creating music with more drive and structure. Today, Bucii’s music is his refuge and his art. A notorious perfectionist, Bucii spits more bars in one song than many rappers do on entire albums and his lyrical complexity is matched only by his elite production quality.

Don’t miss the chance to see him work his magic live!

Vibe Rations These Sioux City funk-rockers teem with a distinctive intensity, blasting away all preconceptions about the Midwestern music scene. The band’s tropical sound may seem at odds with their cornfield surroundings, but the group is full of surprises. Vocalist Jordan Clark lays down intricate lyrics, followed by hair-raising solos from the band’s guitarists. With a sound and energy like no one else, these guys are not to be overlooked.

Would You Kindly?

Iowan pop-punk group Would You Kindly? brings the best traditions of the genre to their home base of Sioux City. The vocals of frontman Henry Milner recall the snotty, devil-maycare attitude of their punk forebears, but are tinged with a mild desperation that conveys the singer’s depth of feeling. The band coats the rough core of their sound with melodic interludes, revealing their art rock influences. Certain tracks even veer into the territories of jazz and ska before being brought back to earth by the Milner’s heartfelt lyrics. Effectively combining the accessibility of pop and the artfulness of post-punk, the band’s future looks bright.

Mark Kochen

Sioux City-based artist Mark Kochen describes his art as “Surrealist-Pop.” He creates works of vivid color and imagination, weaving stories and characters throughout his art. Kochen’s paintings are invigorating to view; each features countless layers of complexity. Despite the whimsical nature of his art, social commentary can be detected in the scenes of rabbits chopping electrical cables and fuzzy sheep moving through factory machinery. Kochen has been creating art from a young age, and feels that he’s still developing his craft, increasing the intricacy and meaning of his work. When he’s not painting, Kochen teaches art and enjoys the outdoors.

Artificial Stars Alternative rock band Artificial Stars take inspiration from their Sioux City roots. The Midwest can be cold and dark, but it’s also ingrained with a certain distinctive charm. The band’s music reflects the navigation of this environment, of trying to find a way through the darkness. On some tracks, their sound is laden with lament and conflict. Other songs possess a cathartic vigor.

The raw feelings in each song are offset with catchy guitar riffs and innovative rhythms, making the even the more somber tracks fun to listen to. Having already won several local music contests, Artificial Stars are poised for an ascent to great heights.

RON Y R O M E

By David Husson

Ron Emory’s career in music stretches all the way back to 1978, when he formed legendary punk band, T.S.O.L with fellow Californians Jack Grisham, Mike Roche and Todd Barnes. A highly skilled guitarist, Emory still plays with the band, in addition to side projects and solo work. Originally from Orange County, CA and later based in Los Angeles, Emory decided to leave the big city over a decade ago, choosing instead to plant his roots in the tight knit community of Sioux City. In 2010, he founded the Sioux City Conservatory of Music with his wife, a non-profit focused on musical education. The school has become an integral part of Sioux City’s arts scene, and not only brings the community together, but acts as a launching pad for some of the midwest’s most talented musicians. Below, Ron details his history in the city he now calls home and the conservatory’s origins.

What’s your history with Sioux City?

I met my wife in Sioux City through a friend many years ago, and started a long-distance courtship. I lived in California, and I moved her out there, we got married, and bought our first house together. Then her mom, who was in Sioux City, was diagnosed with carcinoid cancer. We were traveling with our two little kids, back and forth, to see Grandma, knowing that she wasn’t well, and that was really the driving force of coming back [to Sioux City]. I was kind of the one pushing for it and I think it’s one of the best moves I ever made. I love this small town, everyone’s on a first-name basis. We’re able to do a lot more service work and be an asset to the community, whereas we’d just go unnoticed in Los Angeles. We started the Sioux City Conservatory of Music in 2010 or so; it’s a non-profit music school and that’s been our passion. It’s a good way to give back. I’ve been a musician since 1978 and used to live a lifestyle where there’s a lot of drug and alcohol abuse and whatnot. So it’s been really a way of giving back, being in Sioux City and trying to make a difference every day... and we’re having a heck of a lot of fun doing it.

What does Sioux City offer that you haven’t seen elsewhere?

The opportunity to do so much more in a small town is just incredible... it’s really given us a platform to give back. I’m not sure I could what I’m doing here if I were in a big city... I certainly wouldn’t have the funds to do it. There’s a really tight music scene, and all the musicians support each other, it’s really great that way. All the parents want their kids involved in some kind of art, whether it’s music, or dance, or theater or something else. You

really see that in a small town, in Sioux City especially. I didn’t really notice that in Los Angeles.

What are some misconceptions about the Midwest?

Well, there are probably quite a few… but you get the whole gamut of people here; there are very liberal people here, and very conservative people here. But mostly, in the Midwest, they’re all really hard-working people.

I always loved the music that came from the Midwest: Naked Raygun, The Effigies, The Replacements, Husker Du, all those were bands that I liked a lot. I always really liked the Midwest, and after being here for twelve years now, I really like it.

I like all the seasons... I love it when we get snowed in. We light up the fireplace and don’t [have] to think about doing much, we just sit around and play and have family time… it’s cool!

What’s the story behind the conservatory of music and what sparked your interest to open it?

I have a friend who worked on the railway as an engineer, and he asked me, “Could you teach me how to play guitar? Cause I have a lot of down time.” I said, “Sure I’d be happy to.” Well, he was having so much fun with it, and he had twin daughters, and he asked if I’d teach them. I said, “Sure, I’d love to, that’d be great.” Started teaching them, and then their friends wanted to learn. And pretty soon, I ended up having 52 students at the house every week. And then little brothers and sisters and families, moms and dads. A good friend of mine, David Bernstein, said, “Why don’t you start a non-profit music school?”

“The opportunity to do so much more in a small town is just incredible... it’s really given us a platform to give back.”

So my wife and I opened up the school, into and we don’t make them play stuff and we ended up purchasing a building they don’t want to. We have a lot of fun, that she had looked at before as an and we really encourage songwriting. investment property, and we just moved We have all kinds of clubs that are free, in there. It’s a very artistic, very inviting where the community can come together atmosphere to create. We’ve got these and learn off each other. And of course giant glass slider windows next to the we offer private lessons, band lessons studios, so if you’re in the atrium area, — all kinds of fun stuff. you’re looking at all the different lessons going on. We bought the building next How does your own trajectory as a door because we got too crowded in musician and a member of a punk band [the first] space. That building has an influence the way you run the school? art gallery, gathering place, more lesson When I started playing music I was only studios, and in the back, it’s got an indoor interested in punk rock; that was what skatepark and live venue space, which made me want to play music. My grandpa is all-ages. So we can do live shows in saw how much passion I had for that there and we can do our recitals in there. first guitar that I worked all summer to buy, and he told me “Let’s go for a It’s really flourished, and it’s really given ride, let’s talk about that thing.” And all these kids a platform to express he told me to learn all I could about it, themselves. It’s fun, we teach very learn about every different style of guitar differently than the traditional music music, every different style of guitar, to school. We find out what the kids are take em all apart, put em back together.

I started learning to play guitar like my Grandpa suggested, learning about the different kinds of music you can make.

If you’re looking at a 50s L5 jazz box Gibson guitar, you think, “Well what kind of music does this create?” So then you look up Charlie Christian, and you look up Wes Montgomery, who played an L5.

All these different kinds of people that I really never would’ve known much about, I find out what their influence is on all the types of music that we listen to today.

I came from Orange County, and the band the Adolescents had this really crazy great octave sound that their guitar players Rick and Frank Agnew did, and it was kind of the Orange County sound.

Then I found out about Wes Montgomery, and that’s how he played back in the 40s and 50s! And it’s like “Oh, okay, I can see the connection!”

So I get to share the things that I’ve learned over the years. Someone might like Taylor Swift, for instance, lots of little girls love Taylor Swift. But then you get to show them Loretta Lynn, or Roseanne Cash, and all these people they would never even know. So that’s one of the funnest things ever, to able to share influences with people. That’s definitely how I run the school. I stop students in their tracks a lot of times and go, “Hey, let’s look deeper into this, where did this band come from?”

Any favorite memories or performers to come out of the conservatory?

There’s a group of kids that all took lessons at the conservatory who started a band, which is something we always encourage. They submitted a tape to open up for Bon Jovi in Chicago, and they won! So they went and opened up for Bon Jovi and 35th and Taylor, and that’s a pretty proud moment for those guys.

We have a lot of kids who’ve made it through many rounds on The Voice, or American Idol. I have this student who made it to the last round on The Voice and she’s a very country girl, a teenager with

really strong vocals, and I introduced her to [the Bob Dylan song] “Like a Rolling Stone.” So we did an acoustic version of that song, with this gal who sings country music, wholeheartedly, and had never heard of Bob Dylan. That’s fun, that’s good stuff.

So what’s your favorite local venue?

The Orpheum has always been great.

The Hard Rock opening up was a huge blessing for Sioux City, cause they’ve got music 275 nights of the year, and since they opened, I’ve been to more shows there than anywhere else.

Favorite local restaurant?

Johnnie Mars is a family owned restaurant, a little diner. We really like it as a family restaurant. Main+Abbey is probably the nicest place in town. It’s at the Hard Rock; my friend Nick is the chef over there and he’s fantastic. Blue Café [next to the music school] is a great lunch spot, with crepes on Saturday!

Anything happening at the conservatory you’d like to highlight?

We’ve got the Orpheum Theater show, which is the second Saturday in November (Nov. 10). That’s our big fundraiser, that’s always a really good platform. It’s a nice, beautiful, classy, venue for the kids to get dressed up and to be able to say they performed on the Orpheum stage.

We’re hoping to have Daniel Lanoi and Rocco DeLuca come play, and the kids always do a big performance, which we’re working up to. We usually pick about 5 or 6 songs and get all the kids involved on each of them. We set it up really nice, we have a stage in the lobby for some of the singer-songwriters, and then the big stage show, and then we usually bring in a headliner. We’ve had Sublime with Rome a couple times, Ukes of Hazzard, and Johnny Two Bags from Social Distortion. Fun stuff!
