Photographer Sandra Dyas, visiting faculty in art, has published Down to the River: Portraits of Iowa Musicians, featuring 60 images of Iowa City’s music scene throughout the ’90s and into the ’00s. Musicians including Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey, and Dave Moore are pictured in live performances and contemplative portraits. These artists created what became known as “the Iowa sound,” a distinctive combination of folk, blues, roots/Americana, and rock sounds. Dyas became a fan of the Iowa City music world after moving to the community in the late 1980s to study at the University of Iowa.
