Iowa's most eclectic musical experience . . .
The Mad River Band --hard to define, hard to forget.
Over the past five years, the Mad River Band has earned a reputation for its unique mix of eclectic musical influences.  Led by multi-talented singer-songwriter-guitarist-clarinetist Irene Schroeder, the band has performed for enthusiastic audiences at festivals, colleges, and clubs throughout the Midwest.  With a repertoire of songs featuring original compositions sprinkeled liberally with a diverse selection of crowd-pleasing standards (including songs ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to Lucinda Williams to Neil Young to Van Morrison), the Mad River Band offers a little something for everyone.
