🚜 Hop aboard Dan Bern’s Worth County Tractor Tour—coming to Manly this June! 🚜
We’re excited to welcome acclaimed singer-songwriter Dan Bern () to our spot in Manly, right on the historic site of the Avalon Ballroom. Back in the Depression era, this roadside venue hosted traveling bands—many supported by the WPA—bringing live music and community spirit to rural Iowa.
From June 23–27, Dan’s one-of-a-kind Tractor Tour will roll through Worth County towns, transforming Main Streets, farms, and open spaces into magical acoustic stages filled with his signature sharp storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and unforgettable performances. Every stop is unique!
Due to last summer’s huge success, Dan is also offering two limited-space songwriter’s workshops—reserve your spot now on the Art Farm Iowa website.
Don’t miss this special Iowa-rooted musical adventure!
