TESTIMONIALS •
• "Hey Exploration Iowa, I've been watching Tall Corn Euforia on our public access channel. Kick ass man! Nice job Dean and crew. Tastey stuff indeed!" - Paul Boldt - guitarist Done By Nine
• "Tall Corn Euforia" EXPLORATION IOWA has excelled once more in the visual arts creativity and conveyance world. As one of the performers at Camp Euforia 2008 was heard to say of the festival -'this is the real deal' - EXPLORATION IOWA is also THE REAL DEAL. - Brad Hesford and The Sunday Night Music Show
• BlackBloom is ceaselessly grateful to the Exploration Iowa project for its support of us as both individuals and as musicians. His genuine passion for exhibiting quality regional talent is redemptive in a part of the country not often recognized for its artistic caliber. The videos look great, the selection is incredibly varied, and he keeps a nice goatee. Thanks, Dean! -Brandon and BlackBloom
• "Exploration Iowa, I wanted to tell you, we watched some of your Cornmeal and Euforquestra videos with the whole band at rehearsal last night (some of the guys hadn't seen them yet), and everyone thinks they are f%#*@#* awesome. The editing looks great. All the angles are really nice and you guys follow the soloists and vocalists really nicely. Anyway, just thought you should know that everyone on our end is loving what you've done so far..." Mike Tallman - Euforquestra
• "Thanks for filming the show last night Exploration Iowa, can't wait to see it, you do very good work and are a true asset to the community." Jamey Cummings - Parish Festival
• "Exploration Iowa, Amazing! I cant belive the quick response. I just got home from the gig last night! The song sounds great and I look forward to working with you on this project." Ryan Kolberg - Daphne Willis and Co.
• "Another GREAT video from Exploration Iowa! Exploration Iowa rocks! Dean and MJ were very professional and easy to work with when filming Jim the Mule at RIBCO on February 2nd. The time & effort they put into their video is very impressive. Not only were they great to work with, but they turned out a product in less than 2 weeks! What pros! Jim the Mule & Midwest Originals Booking Company thoroughy enjoyed working the Exploration Iowa team and were delighted to see the wonderful finished products!! We'll be keeping an eye out for more rockin' videos from Dean & MJ!! Go exploring!!!" Midwest Originals & Jim the Mule
• "Exploration Iowa, thank you so much for going to Johnnies Tues. I hope some of those tracks are keepers.. I was soo tired i cant remember how it sounded.. Your a producer who goes beyond the call o' duty." peace, Marc Schowalter
• "Dean and Al, these songs sound great! We really appreciate Exploration Iowa's commitment to local musicians !!" Homemade Headtrip
• "Exploration Iowa, I stopped by your page today and noticed that the "Excess Parade" was playing which I thought was pretty kick ass. The new record is getting close to being done and that will be the first song on it. As always thanks so much for putting our music on your page." All the best, Paul Blomquist - Chrash
• "Exploration Iowa, We cant thank you enough for all your hard work on all of our tunes! The videos are fantastic Dean! I love them!" Sincerely, Jon Eric - The Mayflies
• "Exploration Iowa, first off, thank you for the work you have put in to get these tunes on the site. We are delighted to have that show available that way." Thanks again, Chris Bernat - Chrash
• "Wow, those 31 Knots videos are incredible! Especially Intuition Imperfected. You take the blue ribbon on that one. I checked out some of the other random, but related videos that YouTube suggested atthe end of the video, and your videos of the band were the strongest by far. The others generally had pretty amateur camera technique and universally poor audio. Your whole site is looking really, really good. Well done!"
"Keep up the good work, Exploration Iowa. May the path clear miraculously before you..." - Lars Rhenberg - Ragaman
