Arnolds Park, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — The 25 new inductees into the Iowa Rock and Roll Music Assocation Hall of Fame will be honored Sunday in a ceremony, followed by a concert at the Roof Garden.

President Ralph Kluseman says the border band – which this year is Indigenous from Sioux Falls – will perform Friday night. And this year’s talent search winners will be featured Saturday at a free-will concert at the Pearson Lakes Art Center.

 

Iowa Rock and Roll is a non-profit organization, and an auction this weekend will be a major fundraiser.

The Iowa Rock and Roll Music Association was established in 1997.
