Java Blend LIVE Event: The Future Laureates 11/8

The Future Laureates
The Future Laureates

  On Friday, Nov. 8,  at 2 PM at Iowa City's downtown Java House, IPR Studio One's Ben Kieffer will host a special hour of "Java Blend" with The Future Laureates.

Ben Kieffer will chat with The Future Laureates about their latest album Fortress Sessions, and the band will also perform a live 50-minute set. This program is free and open to the public!

The three-man group from Chicago have gathered up a surplus of appearances over the last year. Making their mark on the SXSW and Summerfest in 2012, The Future Laureates are becoming a household name in the indie-pop scene -- reaching over 100 college radio stations. 

Their music embodies "the pure sunshine of radio-ready pop that comes through in every millisecond. Soaring harmonies glide through serious matters of the head and heart, along with major jamming by guitar, bass, drums–and ukulele."

This program will be aired on IPR Studio One Saturday, Nov. 30. Stay tuned for more fresh brewed artists!

Ben Kieffer is the host of IPR's River to River
