Grown from the black dirt that Iowa is known for, Cory Waller and The Wicked Things are a band of hard-working friends, sons and daughters of farmers and small-town folks. The band has traversed the midwest sharing their brand of black dirt country music, sometimes the shows The Wicked Things play have more people than those of their hometowns. The band's namesake, Cory Waller, started playing music with bass player Ethridge Netz when they were in middle school and honed his country craft with lead electric guitar player Ronley King in dives and bars across Iowa in his 20s—joined by fierce vocalist and acoustic guitar player Emilee Johnson, and the backbone of the band, drummer Kaleb Ferry. They write music and perform for the people they grew up around. 

This winter during a snowstorm, the band traveled to an Air B&B in Redfield, Iowa to write their latest album named after the town. Snowed in, the band wrote the album only taking breaks at the local watering hole Kilroy’s at the end of the nights. The band wrote songs from personal experiences, theirs, and the people they grew up with in Northwest Iowa. “This is the most like us we’ve ever sounded,” says frontman Cory Waller. The band's first full-length album is an honest portrayal of life in the Midwest, with stories of past and lost loves, hardships, and having a good time in the land where the tall corn grows. The album was recorded at Sonic Factory Studios in Des Moines, IA with engineer and producer John Locker. 

Grit, Rasp, Sass, and Love best describe Bree Morgan.

From listening and rapping to her mom’s hip hop CDs, singing along to every 90’s female country artist or a rock/pop song on the radio, or even playing around on her first guitar; something inside of her moved her enough to pursue a life of music.

Performing across the Midwest and beyond, Bree is on her own course to share her fun, energetic, and passion for music.

Bree has opened for country music stars such as Martina McBride, Jo Dee Messina, Joe Nichols, Craig Campbell, Niko Moon, LOCASH and has two studio albums under her belt. She has been voted since 2020 as one of the “Best of Madison”'s in multiple categories including Local Band and Singer-Songwriter.

With those two studio albums and new singles on the way, Bree continues to pave her own way as an independent artist.
