The Iowa Mountain Tour
The Iowa Mountain Tour is a highly-acclaimed song poem band, purveyors of a unique brand of "PSYCHOBILLY" since debuting in 2000.
Although they have done legendary nightclub performances, the lack of "commercial" success eludes them, but is not important to either Gary or Josh.
The band's music, a unique blend of everything from stomping rockabilly and Country, to The Doors-influenced Rock, and heavy metal music, coupled with a lyric vision all their own, has attracted diverse fans and an almost cult following! They have also appeared in film, most notably starring in "Off The Charts The Song Poem Story".
The IMT's devoted following has been fueled by legendary live shows in Chicago and the midwest. The band never works with a set style, so fans never know what they may hear. The band is also infamous for its short improvised sets. Since their initial debut in Avoca, Iowa at a folk festival the band has gone seriously electric to rave reveiws of their new sound.
However, all of this rampant admiration from their peers and fans has never resulted in chart-topping success or major tours. The situation is largely due not only to the cluelessness of the pop music scene, but the band's supremely eccentric songs, which while beloved by fans, haven't helped their commercial potential.
