Central Standard Time is an acoustic duo from eastern Iowa. They play original music and a handful of songs by other acoustic artists. Meaningful lyrics, tight harmonies and intertwining guitar arrangements are hallmarks of CST's music. Their sound has drawn comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel, Storyhill and John Denver.
That was actually only my second house concert, but they are really so much fun, I'm sure it won't be my last! Yeah, having it on Mother's day was kind of a gamble as far as getting a crowd, and we definitely could have had more people but those of us there had fantastic time! Maybe one of these times you can come down for one. Lots of cool people come through Cafe Paradiso here in town though, and it's such a great space, it's very close to the house concert atmosphere as well.
Oh man, rockin Iowa music, ya'll are awesome! Sorry it took so long to get back to you, kinda backed up on my friend requests. :P Anyway, right on, thank you for finding me! Noticing some of the friends we have in common - I live across the street from Truckstop Souvenir and I just hosted Justin Roth for a house concert and have interviewed Ellis on my radio show. Keep in touch! ~ Heather
OMG you guys. I really enjoyed you guys too. I would LOVE to introduce you to my husband Scott and have all of us get together for a night of music. That would be blast. Lets do that real soon. Namaste
