J. Jeffrey Messerole is coming to The Muse! Join us for a night of music and camaraderie!!
$10/person BYOB

From the depths of his Iowa roots, multi-award-winning songwriter J. Jeffrey Messerole writes songs that vary as greatly as the wildflowers in the native tall grass. Messerole does frequently write about that flora, as well as the fauna of the region. Not to mention all of its wildlife. Not one to shy away from subject matter, the songs can frequently meander across the lines between love and loss, success and failure, or life and death. Messerole masterfully blends the sounds of his guitar with thoughtful lyrics, an engaging stage presence, and often rack harmonica to tell gritty American tales that are bound to evoke emotion from all of his listeners.
