----Show Description----
On October 1 at Englert Theatre, celebrate Iowa folk music with a full line-up of women-led Iowa bands. Awful Purdies, Abbie & the Sawyers and The Night Lights will bring to the stage songs for the heart and soul, reflecting their lived experiences as mothers, friends, women, artists and activists.

*Awful Purdies*
Awful Purdies is a Folk-Americana collective of five multi-instrumental women, powered by seamless harmonies, banjo, accordion, cello, guitar, mandolin, and bass. The sound is an earnest nod to traditional American music, folk, old country, bluegrass, honky tonk, and soul. The live performance experience is intimate, containing both humor and insight. On stage, Awful Purdies actively share gratitude and support of one another and take turns stepping up as lead singers and songwriters. Since 2006, Awful Purdies have been raising families, telling women’s stories, advocating for human rights, and engaging with their communities in Eastern Iowa.

*Abbie & the Sawyers*
Think folksy swoons and harmonic ditties, with playful melodic (and lyrical) range. Abbie & the Sawyers make songs that feel warm, whether it's an uptempo summer dance-along or a slow ode to night spent with someone you love. As described by dsm Magazine, their “unique blend of backwoods Appalachia and Midwest charm creates a sound that is stunningly intimate.”

*The Night Lights*
The Diplomettes from Diplomats of Solid Sound banded together to create lush, harmony-driven feely folk at Golden Bear Studio in Des Moines. These long-time friends and bandmates' original songs tell stories about motherhood, personal evolution and friendship.

The Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department invites community members to shell-abrate summer with us at City Park Pool for Water Wednesdays! For $2, you can swim and enjoy an activity or live music.

This event will take place from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, August 16th, 2023, at City Park Pool. August 16th is Swim & Sounds night, with a live performance from Awful Purdies!
