*MARS CAFE EMPLOYEES LIVE MUSIC PICK OF THE MONTH*
Follk Rockers Jacob Tyler Wolfgang from Des Moines, Miller Howell from
Kansas City and the infamous Ali Harter from Oklahoma City share a
stage. Jake and Ali have been here before. Ali is reminicant of an
early Bonnie Raitt, but with a vocal flow like Feist. I’m very excited
about this show. The last time she was here, Ali Harter put on the
BEST female solo acoustic performance I’ve ever seen in Des Moines.
